Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  The damaged and the broken ones; all rooted in the past,
	live life the way it always was, from their first day to their last.
	Motes of dust in beams of light, in the darkness of this day,
	we tip the hat and give a nod, for the truth we can’t convey.

	Everything is real, but nothing matters, anyway.
	Where life is only what must be, from the cradle to the grave.
	Everyone does what they can:  Nothing less, but sure no more. 
	Tip the hat and give a nod to the ones who’ve gone before.
	We tip our hats and give the nod to the world we’ve all ignored

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?

“And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:1-7, KJV)
A realistic and peaceful image of a 56-year-old woman fishing on the shores of Lake Livingston, Texas, during the Christmas season. She has very long, vibrant red hair that flows all the way down to her waist, gently moving in the breeze.

She is standing on a wooden dock or sitting in a comfortable chair by the water, surrounded by the tall pine trees characteristic of East Texas. The weather is cool but pleasant (Texas winter). She is wearing cozy holiday-themed attire, such as a warm plaid flannel shirt in red and green, a festive scarf, or a beanie. Maybe there is a small Christmas wreath on the railing of the dock or a thermos of hot cocoa nearby. The lake is calm and reflects the soft winter sun. The lighting is warm and golden. High quality, photorealistic, serene atmosphere.

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.

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.

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.
