“And The Light Shineth In Darkness; And The Darkness Comprehended It Not.” (John 1:5, Kjv) Art

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.

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is lying down on a futon in his bedroom, covered up with a beautiful lightweight quilt Grandma made.  Outside his room the rain is coming down.  In Penang, every corner of the old town—every whisper of the wind through ancient trees—seems to echo with promises of renewal and love. And as the rain softens outside, Wing-Sun closes his eyes with the comforting knowledge that every detour, every farewell, is simply a step toward a new beginning.  A lantern gives soft light to the room, and all is quiet.

Renaissance Painting, a noble woman of Proverbs 31, standing at the window of a warm, well-lit stone home clothed richly in scarlet. She looks out at a heavy, beautiful snowstorm with a look of peace and calm resolve. Her children and husband are in the foreground, richly and completely clothed in scarlet wool. Focus on the detailed texture of the scarlet fabric, the warm contrast of the interior light against the cold blue snow outside, and a majestic, dignified atmosphere.
