Chapter XVI — The Bhagavad-Gita

by LovelyMay — Chapter XVI opens with a clear explanation of the traits that reflect a life aligned with higher purpose. Krishna describes divine qualities as natural to those walking a spiritual path. Fearlessness, inner purity, self-control, truthfulness, compassion, and devotion are not just ideals, but necessary behaviors for those who wish to break free from ego and suffering. These traits anchor a person in peace and are cultivated through constant reflection and a genuine desire to do good without seeking praise.…

Ballad: Lorenzo De Lardy

by LovelyMay — Lorenzo De Lardy enters the tale not as a dashing hero untroubled by worldly concerns, but as a man tangled in charm, debt, and schemes of romance. Dalilah De Dardy, long past the bloom of youth yet wealthy and eager for companionship, finds herself utterly enamored with this smooth-talking guardsman. Her affection is evident, but Lorenzo, despite his polished boots and noble lineage, is more drawn to solving his monetary problems than embracing the hand of a woman offering security. Instead of building a…

Ballad: The Sailor Boy To His Lass

by LovelyMay — The Sailor Boy To His Lass opens with a young mariner preparing to leave the shore, his heart torn not by the waves ahead, but by the coldness of his beloved, Matilda.

VERSE: The Carver’s Lesson

by LovelyMay — The Carver’s Lesson speaks to those who create not with their hands alone, but with their hearts and convictions woven into every detail. The speaker urges that skill, while essential, is not the highest virtue of art. What truly matters is the message that breathes quietly through each carved form—a whisper of peace, kindness, or truth hidden in wood or stone. A carved rose should carry more than beauty; it should soften a heart or inspire a thought. This lesson isn’t just for sculptors—it’s for…

Unimportant Differences

by LovelyMay — Unimportant Differences opens with a quiet but firm reminder: what truly defines a person isn’t their background, beliefs, or affiliations. A man’s religion, political stance, or social status may catch the world’s attention, but it’s the heart behind his actions that leaves a lasting imprint. A life marked by kindness, fairness, and the ability to bring happiness to others speaks more loudly than banners or labels ever can. When all the surface layers are peeled away, what remains are the simple…
