“And She Called Unto Her Husband, And Said, Send Me, I Pray Thee, One Of The Young Men, And One Of The Asses, That I May Run To Art

“And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” (Luke 2:36-38, KJV) Create with a photorealistic expression
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.
“And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.” (Ezekiel 3:3, KJV)

A woman dressed in Great Depression era fashion, standing in a dimly lit, humble setting. She wears a modest, long-sleeved dress made of durable, slightly faded cotton or rayon, with a mid-calf hemline. The dress is a muted color like dusty blue, faded green, or soft brown, possibly with a subtle, small floral or geometric pattern. Her hair is styled simply, perhaps in soft waves or a practical updo, and she wears sturdy, low-heeled lace-up shoes. Her posture is resilient, reflecting the strength of the era. The background is simple and sparse, hinting at the economic hardship, perhaps an old wooden wall or a faded curtain. The overall feeling is one of quiet determination and dignified hardship Use Art Deco architecture or Art Deco interior in the background, but describe the fashion as faded, worn, and humble. Juxtapose the sleek, modern geometry of the setting with the practical, mended, and heavy wool textures of the clothing.
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.

A beautiful young woman with fair skin, light brown hair styled in a braid, and rosy cheeks stands outdoors in front of a rustic stone and ivy-covered building. She is wearing a simple, practical light brown dress with an apron-style overlay, suggestive of a farm setting. Her right arm is extended, and she is wearing a dark leather glove on her hand, upon which a messenger pigeon has just landed. The pigeon is a classic racing pigeon type, with iridescent green and purple neck feathers, and it has its wings slightly spread as if in the act of landing or adjusting. A small message capsule or scroll is clearly visible attached to one of its legs. The woman looks slightly upwards and to the right with a soft, warm expression, her lips slightly parted, as if acknowledging the pigeon or looking towards the message. In the background, to the right, is a picturesque green landscape under a bright sky with scattered clouds, featuring rolling hills, a small, distant stone building, and what appears to be an old cannon or piece of artillery, hinting at a historical wartime context. The overall lighting is warm and natural, creating a serene yet significant atmosphere.

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.”
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.
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. (Deuteronomy 22:19 KJV)

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, high up on the left, forgot to go away.

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.

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” (Revelation 2:12,17, KJV)

Art Style: A fusion of "Mystical Sci-Fi" and "Cinematic Fantasy Concept Art." The look should be detailed, textured, but dominated by glowing energy effects. Think Dune meets high-fantasy magic. The Subject: A woman with incredibly long, fiery red hair. Her hair isn't just resting; it appears almost weightless, billowing slightly around her as if charged with static electricity or magic, glowing with a faint internal copper light. The "Tent" (The Force Field): She is inside a structure that resembles the frame of a large expedition tent. However, instead of fabric, the spaces between the poles are filled with a shimmering, translucent energy barrier. Appearance: The field is a dome of rippling, geometric light patterns (amber, gold, and electric blue) that hum with power. It looks solid yet transparent. The Action (The Protection): The force field is actively working. Outside the tent, a fierce, dark environmental threat—perhaps a swirling dust storm full of jagged rocks, or shadowy, ethereal creatures—is bombarding the outside of the dome. The Impact: Where the threat hits the tent, the energy field flares brightly, sending out crackling sparks of light, deflecting the danger completely. Atmosphere & Setting: The interior of the tent is calm and warmly lit by the energy field, while the outside is chaotic and dark. The setting is a rugged, alien canyon at twilight.
