Classic tales. Calming tones. Crafted for quiet.Enter the chamber of LITURAE.

For LITURAE, I read classic short stories aloud, paired with healing frequencies and soft music to calm the mind and soothe the soul. Tonight’s tale: a quiet, powerful story of humility and grace.

• SUMMARY •Alyosha, called “the Pot,” is a small and unassuming boy whose life is filled with hardship, obedience, and quiet kindness. Sent to serve a merchant, he does so without complaint, unnoticed and undervalued. Yet in the eyes of Tolstoy, his quiet endurance becomes profound. This brief story asks us to look again at what it means to live well—and whether unnoticed goodness might be the purest kind.

• ABOUT THE AUTHOR •LEO TOLSTOY, the Russian master of moral and philosophical storytelling, is known for epics like War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but also for sparse, soul-searching short stories like this one. A deep spiritual thinker, Tolstoy often used fiction to question societal values and search for deeper truths. Alyosha the Pot, published in 1905, is a perfect gem of his late period—simple, sorrowful, and resonant.

• LITURAE’S AMBIANCE •This podcast blends the stillness of classic literature with the gentle pulse of binaural tones and quiet ambient music. Each episode offers a restful space to unwind, reflect, and return to the stories that shaped generations.

Let this reading meet you where you are—and carry you gently onward.
