Looking from the street. A 10 year old chinese girl watches as children crowd through the entrance gate at a private school in Kerinchi neighborhood, Kuala Lumpur. Several teachers are also there.
First century Palestine on the road toward Jericho. In a treacherous pass, a man lies on the roadside, beaten half to death. A passerby with a donkey is trying to help. The story of the good samaritan.

Inside a large office building in London, on the 5th floor, Wing Sun's father, a Chinese Malaysian man in his 30s, speaks to his counterpart in the company, and English man, about business. Other workers are seated at their desks and standing at a copy machine. There are some Black people, but mostly British. One whole wall of the room is glass and we can see something of London outside.

At the bustling Kuala Lumpur airport, Wing-Sun and his Mother say farewell to his father before he leaves for a six‐week business trip to London. We see Wing Sun and his mother from the back, as Father stands on the escalator going up to his departure gate, and turns toward us to wave goodbye. Many other passengers and children are standing around. The airport is modern and well lit.

Out where the river runs wild and free and only the brave dare row; where the rapids are deep, and the challenge is fresh and it takes them where it means to go. With breakneck speed, grinning into the wind, standing straight on the bow of their craft, just a glimpse now and then of those captains you’ll catch flying by, near capsizing your raft. They’ve no time for advice to those standing on shore or to aid the ones just wading out, for their task is to pilot this current, they think, and it’s all they can do to stay out of the drink, and their lives could be gone in the space of a wink should they lose but a moment to doubt. Standing tall, they never must doubt!

First century Jerusalem at the "gate beautiful" to the temple grounds. Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

Morning inside the classroom at a private school in Kuala Lumpur before class begins. Students stand next to their desks as the teacher, standing in front, leads them in the usual morning recitations of the five national principles, their voices blending into one: "Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan." (Belief in God.) "Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara." (Loyalty to the King and Country.) "Keluhuran Perlembagaan." (Supremacy of the Constitution.) "Kedaulatan Undang-Undang." (Rule of Law.) "Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan." (Courtesy and Morality.) Wing-Sun repeats the words automatically, his eyes drift across the classroom, catching a glimpse of Siu-Zi, the new girl, standing in her usual spot near the window.
"A high-detail Steampunk illustration view from the open deck of the airship 'Falcon,' inspired by Tom Swift and the Caves of Ice. A young inventor in fur-lined leather explorer gear and brass goggles stands at a complex copper control pedestal studded with gauges and levers, looking out over the railing. Below and ahead, massive, jagged Arctic glaciers and deep blue ice caves reflect the warm glow of the ship's exterior mercury-vapor lamps and vacuum-tube engines. The airship deck is surrounded by polished brass fittings, coiling steam pipes, and gilded rigging. Victorian industrial aesthetic, cinematic lighting, contrast between warm mechanics and cold ice
Watercolor Painting Art Style, a delicate yet vibrant Red Admiral butterfly with its wings fully open, showcasing its striking black, orange, and white patterns, gently resting against the textured, pale white bark of an aspen tree. The tree stands in a lower elevation scene, overlooking a serene stream whose water reflects the soft autumn light. Surrounding the butterfly are lush, colorful fall flowers arranged like a charming garden, in hues of deep red, golden yellow, and rustic orange, with hints of green foliage. The overall scene is bathed in soft, clear autumn light, creating a peaceful, luminous, and artistic atmosphere with beautiful color transitions. Focus on the delicate translucency of the butterfly's wings, the subtle nuances of the aspen bark, and the blended, rich tones of the fall garden and stream.

I sat, long ago, on an Asian hill with a Shakya Mundi friend, and watched the autumn leaves fall down from high above, giants in the forest casting off their wakefulness, falling progressively into winter’s long, white sleep. “The important thing to know about trees” he said, “is that they are most beautiful in autumn; just before the winter snow. They live and grow through the entire year just for these brief moments of stunning beauty. We are like that.” He said, “but we have only one autumn, and a very long winter.”
