During the Age of Sejong (1418–1450)

A reflective literary and artistic companion work within the Population 5 universe — blending Korean historical atmosphere, philosophical reflection, unseen devotion, symbolic guardianship, and the enduring spirit of the faithful beneath the surface of history.

Inspired by the emotional world surrounding King Sejong, Queen Soheon, Lady Hye-bin Yang, the humanity of Du Fu, and the symbolic echoes of the Geobukseon (“turtle ships”) of the Joseon era.

Themes include:

quiet strength,

hidden influence,

watchfulness,

resilience,

memory,

faith,

endurance,

and the unseen souls who preserve beauty and civilization through turbulent times.

Companion thematic thread:

The Unseen Faithful

Scott L.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
