Prick of Conscience by Ronald Mackay

Today, it is an honour to feature this fourth inspirational true story from Ronald Mackay in this year's Authors Showcase.

Read and enjoy Ronald's latest contribution Prick of Conscience by clicking here.

Ronald's Bio July 2020

Gardens, large and small, have ever exerted their drawing power on Ronald Mackay. The magic began as a child when he lived with his mother, elder sister and younger brother in his grandmother’s home in Coupar Angus, Scotland in the early 1940s.

Since then he has worked in walled gardens belonging to grand Scottish houses, shared gardens in municipal allotments, flower gardens and in vegetable gardens in England, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Chile, and Argentina.

This year (2020) he and his wife Viviana are helping to plant out and manage a respectable vegetable garden at the beautiful Elmhirst’s Resort <https://elmhirst.ca/> on the north shore of Rice Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Wow, how wonderful to be able to live in all those places and what a difference in gardening you had to accomplish

Very different gardens indeed, Susan, but the principles and the raw materials are all the same! Thanks for enjoying the story.

You paint an interesting word picture of another place in another time, I can see those own dilemmas in my youth and hopefully there is enough moral character in today’s youth to challenge them, but the days of freely riding around on bicycles are unfortunately over. Well done

I'm happy to know that some elements of the story resonated with you, Tom. Yes, we lived in the best of times at least where freedom as children and youths is concerned. We were encouraged to go anywhere and do anything as long as it didn't get anybody into trouble. Thanks for reading this story!

Another fascinating story by Ron Mackay. Good to see the right and wrong "contest" being reinforced. Hopefully that prick of conscience is being instilled in the new generations as it was in earlier days. I am sure that we have all felt it and suffered when we have ignored the warning.

Happy to know that you enjoyed the principles underlying the story, Euan. Perhaps all that is needed is for the metaphor to be shared with young people and then nature will do much of the rest. But without being explicitly taught about the prickly marble in your head it may be more difficult. I'm happy that the story rings a bell with you. Thanks for your comment.

As always, a carefully constructed, thoughtful story and I learned some new things too!

Just as you have stated on this story it is: no one can explain the complexity of life with empty words and no real meaning for those who listen to them, since it is necessary to understand the mysteries of each situation faced to temper the character of each person and to grow as a worthy human being. The proper route to follow moves along a very fragile line; and depending on the word said and heard, one goes directly to success or failure at any age, especially when one has the age of the characters involved in this story. That inner voice to awaken consciousness is fundamental in every act of life.

No doubt, it is another great story plethoric of philosophical principles of what is the cornerstone of human essence. Congratulations and a big hug, Mackay.

You capture perfectly the complexity of life and the decisions we have to make about right and wrong, Nila! Thank you for having read the story.

Another marvellous story to revel in during the reading, and to reflect on, afterwards. When indeed, do we begin to decide what is right and what is wrong? Can we be convinced that it is right to obey orders to do evil? Are we ready to suffer the consequences of disobeying orders that are evil? I have been viewing Mark Fulton's videos of WWII, on YouTube, which are nightmare-inducing. So much evil. So few pricks of conscience.

How right you are, Palmer. So few pricks of conscience today... Or is it that we are just reaching maturity?
Thanks for enjoying the story.

This beautifully written story reminded me of how easily a group of boys can get themselves into situations their consciences tell them are wrong but no one wants to lose face by "chickening out" as we used to say. I also loved the way Ron portrayed a sense of season as he described things such as the wasps on windfall apples and playing conkers, something I did, too. For me early fall is such a melancholic time. I was also moved by the intelligence and kindness of the twins as they deftly taught Ron a lesson without shaming him. It was a joy to read!

Thanks for the compliments, Drew. As a writer yourself, you know how well they are received.
It still behoves us to be open to learning lessons...

I liked the story, Ron. Not only a fine description of remembered key events but also of the awakening of intentionality and its social implications. Makes a person want to eat an apple but also to appreciate the distinctions between them.
