The Job
The Job can often be mistaken as the measure of a person’s value, but the truth is far more personal and empowering. It is not the title or status that shapes success, but the effort one brings to the work. The chapter explores how fulfillment is found in the dedication applied to any task, whether grand or humble. Each position becomes meaningful through honesty, skill, and consistency, not through the applause it may or may not receive. When seen through this lens, every job holds the potential to…-

VERSE: A TOMB IN GHENT
A Tomb in Ghent opens with quiet reverence, centered on a young English girl whose presence in the streets of Ghent is marked by a voice that seems older than her years. Her steps are light, but the songs she carries—laced with harmonies echoing Palestrina’s sacred austerity and Scarlatti’s refined passion—speak of something ancestral, something enduring. These melodies are not just a pastime; they are the soul’s inheritance passed from voices long stilled. They seem to belong more to the…-

Ballad: The Reverend Micah Sowls
The Reverend Micah Sowls begins his story as a thunderous voice from the pulpit, railing against the theatre with a fire that nearly scorches the air. His condemnation is not just moral, but theatrical in itself, delivered with such dramatic flair that even the most indifferent listener might mistake it for divine revelation. Behind this righteous fury, however, lies a quieter ambition—Sowls speaks not only to warn souls, but to impress a bishop seated among his parishioners. His sermon, borrowed from a…-

Nimmo
Nimmo sits at the crossroads between memory and myth, a figure both vivid and obscured by time’s retelling. The narrator begins by acknowledging the tall tales that have gathered around Nimmo like fog around a familiar street, obscuring more than they reveal. These embellished versions seem almost theatrical, full of drama and imagined quarrels, while the real man slips quietly beneath them, mostly forgotten. With a tone that shifts from amusement to quiet regret, the speaker admits complicity in…-
