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.

“Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.” (Deuteronomy 23:4-5, KJV)
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 
(Genesis 2:6 KJV)
A powerfully emotional, classical sacred art style painting. A ragged figure, formerly a slave, is kneeling, their hands reaching out in submission and relief. Their heavy, rusty chains have been shattered on the dusty ground. Before them is a figure enveloped in radiant, warm, golden light (representing Christ Jesus), whose hand is gently lifting the kneeling person's chin. Above them, a shimmering dove made of pure light descends, symbolizing the Spirit of adoption witnessing to their spirit. Themes of mercy, freedom, and homecoming. Chiaroscuro lighting, deep colors.

grounded composition, realistic atmospheric depth, cinematic painterly
