“And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.” (Exodus 13:19-22, KJV)
“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:2-5, KJV)
“Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?” (Numbers 16:9-11, KJV)

Cinematic Landscape Photography, Golden Hour Backlighting, Rich Autumnal Palette. A sweeping, atmospheric photograph of a solitary woman with a mane of long, wavy fiery red hair that glows in the sunset light. She is sitting quietly on the edge of a massive, lichen-covered granite outcrop, looking out over a vast, endless vista of the Appalachian mountains at peak autumn foliage.

The air feels crisp and cool.
“And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites. So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.” (2 Chronicles 35:4-6, KJVA)

“And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?” (2 Chronicles 2:3-6, KJV)
“Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.” (Isaiah 28:24-29, KJV)

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” (Matthew 26:26-29, KJV) Use Matzo style bread
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 hyper-realistic, cinematic portrait of Zelek the Ammonite, one of King David’s elite 'Mighty Men.' He is a towering figure with a weathered, fierce expression, wearing ancient Near Eastern bronze-and-iron scale armor with heavy leather straps. He stands in a stance of immense power, holding a massive, jagged-edged broadsword or a heavy iron-headed spear.

“And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.” (1 Samuel 25:23-25, KJVA)

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!

“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.”
A highly detailed photograph of a cheerful female Camp Host with long, flowing red hair, wearing a forest green uniform shirt and khaki pants. She is standing in the San Juan National Forest and is holding a wooden rake. She is engaged in a friendly conversation with Smokey the Bear. The forest setting features large Ponderosa pine trees with orange bark and the ground is covered in a layer of pine needles and raked debris, illustrating fire prevention efforts.

"fresco painting, stylized Egyptian profile, hieroglyphic details, vibrant earth tones"A dramatic, indoor scene from the Book of Exodus depicting the confrontation between Moses and the Egyptian magicians, Jannes and Jambres, in the court of Pharaoh. In the foreground, Jannes and Jambres stand proudly, dressed in ornate, gold-trimmed Egyptian robes, their faces stern and defiant. They are surrounded by their magical staffs and are attempting to replicate a miracle, perhaps surrounded by writhing, magically created snakes. Moses stands opposite them, his figure conveying authority and resolve, illuminated by a stark, celestial light. The background is a grand, dimly lit hall in the Egyptian palace, filled with massive columns and Pharaoh watching from his throne. The mood is one of intense rivalry, ancient power, and dramatic tension."
This day, though, I hiked another autumn wood.  Eastern Europe ancient; overgrown.  So thick the view was dark at just a few feet off the path.  All red and yellow; orange and brown, a million trees, each one in blazing preparation for long, frozen winter.  I cannot but recall my friend’s words, lasting long, though he did not, and the instant truth that follows.  Looking upward at the fiery canopy, matched against the bright cerulean sky beyond, I embrace autumn!  Winter surely comes one day, but spring beyond.  I have a winter to prepare for, but it is not yet.

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.”
