Chapter XVII — The Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter XVII begins with Arjuna raising a thoughtful concern. He wonders what becomes of people who act out of faith without strictly following scriptural rules. Krishna responds with a detailed explanation that faith itself is shaped by one's inner qualities—what he calls the Gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Those with a sattvic nature develop faith in pure, uplifting things that lead toward wisdom and harmony. Rajasic individuals are drawn to restless desires, often seeking power or control in their…-

Introduction to Legends and Lyrics opens with a candid memory from Charles Dickens as he describes an unexpected yet deeply meaningful literary encounter. While managing the editorial duties of Household Words, he came across a poem so sincere and refined that it compelled him to request more from the unknown contributor, Mary Berwick. What he didn't know was that behind the pseudonym stood someone already within his social circle—Adelaide Anne Procter, the daughter of his old friend Barry Cornwall. This…-

Ballad: Babette’s Love
Babette’s Love blooms not with grandeur or noble courtship, but through the quiet simplicity of seaside life, where charm and affection emerge amid nets, shrimps, and steamships.

She works with purpose and smiles with ease, admired not only for her beauty but also for her refusal to settle for admiration that lacks depth. Her eyes do not wander to the uniformed Jacot, the customs officer, though he sighs and…-

The Valley of the Shadow
The Valley of the Shadow opens not with fear, but with a quiet recognition. This is not a place for those who scream against fate, but for those who have grown silent under its weight. Each figure in this land has carried a dream long enough for it to wear thin, until it frays into memory. They have walked roads lined not with flowers but with faded hopes that once seemed real. No monument marks their arrival; instead, their stories are written on the air in glances, sighs, and pauses. Here, people do not…-

Ballad: The Reverend Simon Magus
The Reverend Simon Magus explores the curious case of a clergyman interested in purchasing a lucrative religious post, all under the guise of humility and virtue.

The agent describes it as a rare gem—comfortable, peaceful, and highly profitable, with the current holder approaching the end of his long life. The entire transaction is framed with an…-

VERSE: Philip and Mildred
Philip and Mildred opens in a moment marked not by celebration, but by sorrow cloaked in tenderness.

This was to be their wedding day, yet instead of vows before family, they exchange promises beneath a darkening sky. Philip, drawn away by recognition he never sought but cannot refuse, leaves not for glory but for purpose. Mildred, though aching with loss, urges him forward,…-

Chapter Two
The chapter opens with Cyrus attending an AA meeting at Camp5 Center, a dingy lavender recovery clubhouse frequented by a mix of old-timers and reluctant newcomers. The setting is vividly described—cigarette smoke, a dim basement with plastic tables, and the no-nonsense presence of Angus B. selling cheap snacks. Cyrus’s sponsor, Gabe Bardo, a seasoned figure with 33 years of sobriety, sits quietly beside him. The meeting’s broad topic, “life on life’s terms,” sparks disjointed shares, from a…-

The Scoffer
The Scoffer begins with a tongue-in-cheek confession: the narrator admits he might have ridiculed pioneers like Franklin and Fulton had he lived in their time. He paints vivid images of his imagined mockery—laughing at Franklin’s rain-soaked kite experiment or sneering at Fulton's steam-powered dreamboat. It's a humbling admission, illustrating how progress is often met with disbelief before it's celebrated. The speaker reflects on the ease with which many scoff from the sidelines while visionaries…-

VERSE: MY JOURNAL
My Journal begins in the low light of a weary evening, as the speaker lifts a forgotten volume, cloaked in dust and time. Its metal clasps open reluctantly, revealing yellowed pages softened by age and sorrow. There is no ceremony, only the slow unfolding of memories that speak louder than the quiet room around them. The journal, once filled with promise and fresh ink, now reads like a map of a life both imagined and endured. Dreams once written with bold certainty now seem distant, not gone, but weathered…-
