Personal POV scene. Me and Jesus in the desert on a cool morning at daybreak walking toward a bright star. Jesus is wearing old clothes and carrying a satchel. I’m wearing old clothes and sandals just like Him. The air is cool and crisp. The sky is bright blue on the horizon with deep purple fading into black at the upper atmosphere. The air is crisp and clear. It’s like the desert in California looking east toward Arizona. There are desert hills on the north and south sides and mountains in the distance.
From the Book of Ruth:  "“would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me!” Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me.”"

Morning city scene in Petaling Jaya. A 10 year old chinese boy and his grandmother.  As they weave through the narrow sidewalk,  taxis zip by, buses screech to a halt at stoplights, motorbikes wend their way through the stopped traffic, trying to get a head start when the light turns green.  People in the informal businesses set up along the sidewalks call out greetings in a mix of Cantonese, Malay, and English. The sky, still soft with the remnants of dawn, and yet already heavy with humid heat, hinted at another sweltering afternoon ahead.
A sultry afternoon, moving into evening in the american south, circa 1970.  I see a quiet home surrounded by trees near a river, and on the wide front porch an older man sits in a rocking chair talking to his younger friend.  It's storytelling time.  The house is white shiplap siding, and the porch is peaceful and quiet.  An old dog lays down at the old man's feet. Glasses of iced tea are nearby.
 Life is good.
The scene is a rural mid-sized village in central Japan, sometime in the 19th or early 20th century.  It's late afternoon, just before sunset, twilight, and the heat of the day has passed.  This is Boy's Day, May 5th.  Men and boys dressed in hakama, and women and girls in yukata and some in kimono are milling around in the street.  Some are holding sparklers.  Others are standing in groups talking proudly about the boys in their families.  Prominently displayed above the buildings, on a high pole, about 20 "koi nobori" are flying in the evening breeze.  "Koi nobori,” are large tubular kites made from silk and attached to high poles.  The kites are shaped something like a windsock, but are decorated as brightly colored koi fish, with the large end attached to the pole.  When the wind blows through the opening, decorated like the open mouth of the Koi, the fish looks like it is swimming, but not going anywhere.  Boys are encouraged to look up and admire the fish on the pole for their strength and stamina.  The scene is festive, but also very important.
