Chapter Twenty-seven [When asked about…], Martyr!

by testsuphomeAdmin — The chapter opens with a reflection on Michelangelo's approach to sculpture—removing excess stone to reveal the masterpiece within. This metaphor extends to life, where eliminating negative elements (toxic relationships, bad habits) is often mistaken for creating goodness. The author critiques the Abrahamic moral framework, arguing that avoiding wrongdoing doesn't equate to active virtue. A rich man, for instance, may pride himself on not harming others while neglecting positive action, exposing the…

Reward

by LovelyMay — Chapter 5 titled "Reward" is a reflection on the enduring joy found not in grand accomplishments or wealth but in quiet moments and honest living.

These moments of retreat offer something deeper than applause ever could—a return to what feels real and grounding. Resting by the water, the soul breathes. No…

John Brown

by LovelyMay — John Brown begins not as a declaration, but as a solemn meditation by a man approaching the end of his mortal journey. He does not plead for sympathy nor seek forgiveness. Instead, he reflects on the emotional distance that time, cause, and conviction have placed between himself and the woman he addresses. Their separation, more spiritual than physical, was born of his unwavering pursuit of justice—an endeavor he admits left little room for tenderness. Yet beneath this admission lies no regret, only a…

Ballad: A Worm Will Turn

by LovelyMay — A Worm Will Turn follows the life of Bernard Jupp, a man who radiates positivity no matter how hard the world tries to bring him down. His laughter is not the kind born of ignorance, but a deliberate response to the heaviness life can bring. Even when faced with personal and financial ruin, Bernard does not waver. There is wisdom in his wit, strength in his silliness, and hope behind every grin he offers. His approach to pain is not avoidance but reframing—it’s about choosing to see value in struggle…

VERSE: A Woman’s Answer

by LovelyMay — A Woman's Answer begins as a tender, yet unapologetic declaration of how love cannot be caged or confined to a single form. The speaker does not diminish her devotion to her beloved but rather expands the definition of love itself. Her soul responds not just to the touch of one person, but to a symphony of experiences, memories, and meaningful connections. She remembers how sunlight first fell on his hair the day they met, and how winter’s stillness brought him back into her arms. Love, for her, is…

Pontus De Tyard, 1570

by LovelyMay — Pontus De Tyard, 1570 introduces a philosophical meditation that blends poetic sensitivity with emotional clarity, drawing readers into a realm where love, illusion, and grief dance together in delicate tension. It opens with a portrait of a woman whose life, untouched by love, becomes hollow—a succession of routine days with no trace of joy or transformation. Her solitude is not merely loneliness but a condition of existence deprived of beauty, where even wisdom becomes a dull, joyless inheritance. The…

Yesterday

by LovelyMay — Yesterday carries with it a strange authority, a gentle insistence that things were somehow better just a day ago. In golf, this memory shows up often. It hides in the sigh of a missed putt, in the shoulder slump after a slice, and in the words, “I was hitting them straight yesterday.” For a new player like the narrator, it’s difficult to share in that nostalgia because there are no golden days of skill to remember—just lessons still being learned. Yet, while he lacks a glorious golfing past, he is…
