At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is seated at a table in the dining room, with the kitchen in view.  Grandmother is sitting at the table telling Wing Sun a story from the Bible.  The house is cozy, and it's raining outside.  There is an air of suspense, but Wing Sun feels safe and secure.
Oil Painting Art Style, a lively scene showcasing multiple vibrant Quaker Parrots (Monk Parakeets) in crisp detail, actively perched, interacting, and flying around their extraordinary communal stick nest. The nest, a massive and intricate structure woven from countless twigs, serves as a striking backdrop, resembling a complex, multi-chambered apartment building for birds high within a large, leafy tree. The focus is primarily on the parrots themselves: their distinctive bright green plumage, grey chests, and intelligent, curious eyes are rendered with exquisite detail. Several parrots are clearly visible, their individual feathers, beaks, and expressions highlighted. The setting is bright and lively, illuminated by clear, natural sunlight, casting detailed shadows. Focus on the vibrant colors and fine feather details of the Quaker Parrots, their lively activity, and the impressive scale and texture of their communal stick nest as an integral part of their environment.
First century Palestine.  An evening scene on a rooftop in Bethlehem.  The summer air is warm and the evening light is soft.  Jesus, wearing ordinary clothing like most men wear, sits at a table across from a Pharisee named Nicodemus who has come to speak to the Master privately.  One or two servers stand nearby.  There is a clay pitcher and 2 drinking cups on the table.  The town is visible in the background.
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.
Father and Grandmother with Siu Zi leaving their home in a Guangzhou street in the dark of night.  There is an air of secrecy. Siu Zi clutches her small bag, its contents little more than a few treasured keepsakes and faded photographs. Her father’s reassuring hand on her shoulder, and the soft presence of her grandmother at his side, give her the courage to move forward. A taxi waits down the street to take them to the train.
Unstressed vowels weakened to schwa.
The final -e in words like name became silent.
Endings like -ed and -es lost their full vowel sound, making English more rhythmically stress-timed.

Oil Painting Art Style, a bustling scene featuring several vibrant Quaker Parrots (also known as Monk Parakeets) perched on and around their extraordinary communal nest. The nest is a massive, intricate structure built entirely from countless interwoven sticks and twigs, resembling a complex, multi-chambered apartment building for birds, integrated high within the sturdy branches of a large, leafy tree. Each visible entrance or chamber suggests multiple pairs of parrots coexisting. The Quaker Parrots themselves, with their distinctive green plumage, grey chests, and bright eyes, are actively flying to and from, bringing more sticks, or observing their bustling community. The setting is bright and lively, illuminated by clear, natural sunlight, casting detailed shadows and highlighting the texture of the sticks and feathers. Focus on the architectural complexity and scale of the stick nest, the industrious activity of the parrots, and the vibrant green and grey colors of the birds against the natural backdrop.
American Dream
The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite.  Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders.
And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.
At her Mother's house in Penang, Wing Sun's mother, a beautiful chinese woman in her 30s, is standing in her bedroom looking out the window at night.  We see her from a quarter view inside the room.  She is pensive and an air of tension fills the room as she remembers growing up in this house.  Her hair is long and black, and she's wearing her housecoat.  A lantern gives low light inside the room.  It's raining outside.
At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is lying down on a futon in his bedroom, covered up with a beautiful lightweight quilt Grandma made.  Outside his room the rain is coming down.  In Penang, every corner of the old town—every whisper of the wind through ancient trees—seems to echo with promises of renewal and love. And as the rain softens outside, Wing-Sun closes his eyes with the comforting knowledge that every detour, every farewell, is simply a step toward a new beginning.  A lantern gives soft light to the room, and all is quiet.
Oil Painting Art Style, a breathtakingly majestic and regal portrait of "The Queen in Gold of Ophir," inspired by Psalm 45. The Queen stands with impeccable grace and royal dignity, her posture radiating quiet power. She is adorned in an exquisitely elaborate gown woven entirely from the finest, purest gold of Ophir, shimmering with incredible richness. Her attire is intricately embellished with countless precious jewels—sapphires, rubies, and emeralds—each catching the light. A delicate yet regal golden crown rests upon her head, complementing her serene and noble expression. The setting is a grand, opulent royal palace chamber, with rich tapestries and polished marble, bathed in warm, golden, ambient light that dramatically illuminates her and her lavish garments. Focus on the unparalleled brilliance and texture of her golden gown, the sparkle of her jewels, her majestic presence, and the luxurious, sacred atmosphere befitting a queen in God's presence.
Oil Painting Art Style, a tender and protective scene featuring a small, close-knit flock of magnificent Blue Hyacinth Macaws gathering for roosting at dusk. On a sturdy branch of a tall palm tree within an open woodland, a mother Hyacinth Macaw is prominently depicted, gently extending a wing to cover a smaller, younger macaw nestled securely beneath her. The macaws, with their incredibly vibrant, deep blue plumage and striking yellow eye rings, are nestled closely together, their bodies positioned to evoke a powerful sense of being 'covered' and finding 'refuge' under a protective wing. The soft, fading twilight glow illuminates their feathers with a deep, iridescent sheen and casts gentle, lengthening shadows. The surrounding natural environment is rendered in muted, dusky tones of green and purple, creating a tranquil atmosphere of safety and secure communal rest. Focus on the exquisite detail of the macaws' feathers and tender facial expressions, particularly the mother and young, the profound warmth and security of their huddle, and the peaceful, protective mood inspired by their collective refuge.
Macro Product Photography, Museum Archival Style, Warm Lantern Light. A detailed photograph of a complete, hand-carved set of unique pirate-themed chess pieces arranged loosely on a weathered wooden captain's desk alongside old charts and a compass. The pieces are crafted from a mix of dark aged oak, tarnished cast brass, and accents of stolen gold and rough rubies.

The Ranks:

    The King (Captain): The tallest piece, an imposing Pirate Captain figure with a grand tricorn hat, a long beard, a detailed cutlass, and one boot resting on a miniature treasure chest.

    The Queen (Quartermaster/Pirate Lord): A fierce, elegant female figure with dual flintlock pistols, a flowing coat, and a stern, commanding expression.

    The Bishops (Navigators/Voodoo Priests): Hunched figures holding sextants and mystical skull staffs, adorned with beads and feathers.

    The Knights (Boarding Party): Dynamic pieces showing a pirate mid-swing on a rope, holding a grappling hook and a boarding axe.

    The Rooks (The Ship/Fort): Heavy, fortified pieces shaped like the barnacle-covered stern castle of a galleon, bristling with tiny cannons.

    The Pawns (The Crew): A group of smaller, identical scruffy deckhands holding mops, buckets, and simple daggers.

The focus is sharp on the intricate textures of the wood grain and metalwork.

First century Palestine.  Mid-morning in a rural area.  The sun is warm and the atmosphere is positive.  Jesus and His disciples walk along a country road that goes to Bethany. There are some trees shading part of the road ahead, and cultivated fields on either side of the road.  Jesus, wears ordinary clothing like most men, and He’s talking to His disciples as the walk along.  The disciples are listening intently to Jesus, and His face is kind, but intense.  A farm house sits off to one side, and the town is visible in the distance.
At his Grandmother's house in Penang, while the tropical rain taps softly against the window, Wing Sun, Mother and Grandmother gather in the cozy living room. The room glows with the soft light of an oil lamp, and the walls are adorned with faded photographs and delicate calligraphy. Grandmother’s eyes sparkle as she begins to speak—a voice that carries both the wisdom of her years and the tender care of someone who’s seen many seasons change.  Wing Sun is pensive with anticipation.  What will she say?
Siu Zi is a 10 year old Chinese girl in Guangzhou. Late one humid evening, Siu Zi's father meets with a discreet man known simply as Mr. Chen.  In a quiet corner of a small teahouse near the back alleys of Guangzhou, Mr. Chen explains, in careful whispers, how he can help the family obtain the documents they needed to leave the country safely. Other patrons are in the teahouse, and a waiter stands nearby, but nobody can hear what Mr. Chen is saying.  It's safe to talk here.

An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.
Mr. Chen has arranged for the little family  to cross secretly into Hong Kong—a place known for its bright skyline and bustling streets. Under the cover of darkness and with careful planning, Siu Zi, her father and Grandmother, along with Mr. Chen have boarded a small boat that carries them silently across the water. The sea is calm, its surface reflecting a tapestry of starlight, as if the heavens themselves are guiding them.  Siu-Zi lies nestled between her father and grandmother, wrapped up in blankets, in the forward part of an open boat with quiet motors propelling them along. Their is an air of mystery and tension.
In Penang, Malaysia.  Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island.  Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life.  There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years.  Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze.  We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.
Wing Sun is a 10 year old Malaysian boy. We see him from the back as he stands, looking down the street in the evening. The scent of mooncakes and burning lantern oil fills the air in the street in Petaling Jaya where Wing Sun lives.  Everything is aglow with the soft light of lanterns, their colors reflected in the puddles left by the afternoon rain.  At least 6 vendors have pulled their carts up onto the sidewalks on both sides of the street, selling moon pies and other special treats.  
Several of Wing-Sun's neighborhood friends, some younger than he and some a little older, were standing around in a circle, waiting for him to come outside.
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.

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.
