“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 2:26-29, KJV)
Create an image of the short-lived U.S. Army post known as Fort Lowell, New Mexico, circa 1868. The buildings are made of rough-hewn, rustic logs and timber, surrounded by a high mountain valley and coniferous trees, reflecting the high altitude of the New Mexico territory. Show a small number of New Mexico volunteers in period uniforms and their horses within a simple log palisade or fence line. The scene should be overcast and rugged, capturing the isolation of a frontier outpost

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4, KJV)

Skull with violin and dying roses
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  This morning the sound of traffic in the street, 
scooters and tuk-tuks, taxis and trucks, was so loud I couldn’t hear my dream.  
So I turned it off and went dowstairs.
Taking in diesel fumes ‘til it hurt to breathe, I found a hawker-stall and ate.
It’s 100 degrees already; soon the rain will come.
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Back out on the open plain, our bus hurtles toward the city.
Smokestacks and temples rise up from the earth; two visions competing for the sky.
The woman on my right holds a chicken in her lap; rural wealth for a city friend?  On my left a Buddhist priest sits in quiet repose and presides over the world.
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Afternoon rain forces us into the coolness of the little house, surrounded by rice paddies, 
where Grandmother assembles strings of Christmas lights; bound for somewhere.
Young mother watches three children grow,
and wonders:  What will their lives be?
Can’t dream of what she’s never seen; can’t see what she can’t dream.

In days to come I stood amazed, walking through that forest, at the blazing symphony of color it brought forth, seemingly just for me.  I grew to love my friend’s words in a new way, through the astounding beauty of the spectacle he knew was coming when he said them.  I was young then, and didn’t know I had many autumns ahead of me.

A sweeping digital fantasy painting of a majestic angel with large, feathered wings made of glowing white light and golden energy, suspended within the center of a massive cosmic whirlwind. The whirlwind itself is a swirling spiral galaxy, composed of vibrant nebulae, millions of sparkling stars, dust lanes in deep blues, purples, and oranges, and miniature planets caught in the flow. The angel, wearing flowing, armored robes of starlight, looks serene with outstretched arms. The background is the dark expanse of deep space filled with distant galaxies. The style is epic and cinematic.

“Create an epic, dramatic depiction of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from Revelation 6:1–8. Show four powerful riders emerging with force as the Lamb opens the seals in the heavens. Highlight the sacred Seals being opened—radiant, glowing, and releasing divine power. Set the scene in a storm-torn sky filled with swirling dark clouds, flashes of supernatural light, and a trembling landscape beneath their arrival. Use a dark yet vivid apocalyptic color palette with intense contrasts and dramatic, celestial lighting to emphasize the sense of unstoppable divine judgment. Style should blend high-detail fantasy realism with majestic biblical grandeur.”

The top half shows the same figure emerging into a brilliant, blinding golden light with white lilies blooming all around. Hyper-realistic, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, spiritual atmosphere, "Newness of life" theme, 8k resolution, elegant and sacred.
Trees are always trying to reach the sky;
arms stretched out toward heaven
‘til their leaves turn brown and die.
Then will come the winter,
when they stand the icy wind.
waiting for the sun to shine
and spring to come again.

The drama’s reinacted every year:
Leaves come down like clouds of doubt and fear.
While on the ground, the winter passes by,
every tree keeps reaching to the sky.

The drama’s reinacted every year:
Leaves come down like clouds of doubt and fear.
While on the ground, the winter passes by,
every tree keeps reaching to the sky.
Life is all around for us to hold.
Spring will come again
when we forget the winter cold.
Soon will be the summer,
when the evenings linger long
with jokes and quips and camping trips,
a kindred summer song.

	The time won’t last forever, we can see;
	still, we should learn the lesson of the tree.
	In winter snow or summer’s long good-bye,
	trees keep reaching upward to the sky.

Cinematic Film Style, Romanticism Art Style, a stunningly beautiful and atmospheric portrait of a Geisha in 1930s Kyoto. She is dressed in an exquisite, flowing silk kimono with intricate floral patterns and a wide obi sash. Her face is painted in traditional white makeup with striking red lips and piercing blue-gray eyes. She is standing on a traditional wooden bridge over a stream in Gion, with soft pink cherry blossoms falling around her like snow. The lighting is a warm, golden-hour glow that creates a soft-focus, ethereal background of old wooden teahouses and paper lanterns. Focus on the shimmering texture of the silk, the delicate movement of the blossoms, and a sense of quiet, longing beauty.

I lift up my eyes toward the sky;
know my heart and home are there,
where the ones before me lie.
One day, I’ll be gathered up
and carried to that place
where I shall know as I am known,
and see my Maker’s face.

	It’s appointed unto us just once to be:
	We linger here, but soon we’ll be set free.
 	No more reaching upward ‘til we die,
	Our roots stay here.  We stretch beyond the sky.
