“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” (Genesis 32:24-26, KJVA)
In Penang, Malaysia.  Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island.  Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life.  There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years.  Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze.  We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.

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?
Inside an informal church in London.  Wing Sun's father has been invited to attend with his counterpart from the office.  He doesn't have anything else to do on Sunday morning, so he goes along.  we are standing in the back of the room.  There are many people of different ethnicities, the Pastor is standing up front alongside a worship leader with a guitar, and a young black woman, facing the audience.  The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, but Wing Sun's father feels a little uncomfortable.

Oil Painting Art Style, a lively scene showcasing multiple vibrant Quaker Parrots (Monk Parakeets) in crisp detail, actively perched, interacting, and flying around their extraordinary communal stick nest. The nest, a massive and intricate structure woven from countless twigs, serves as a striking backdrop, resembling a complex, multi-chambered apartment building for birds high within a large, leafy tree. The focus is primarily on the parrots themselves: their distinctive bright green plumage, grey chests, and intelligent, curious eyes are rendered with exquisite detail. Several parrots are clearly visible, their individual feathers, beaks, and expressions highlighted. The setting is bright and lively, illuminated by clear, natural sunlight, casting detailed shadows. Focus on the vibrant colors and fine feather details of the Quaker Parrots, their lively activity, and the impressive scale and texture of their communal stick nest as an integral part of their environment.
First century Palestine.  An evening scene on a rooftop in Bethlehem.  The summer air is warm and the evening light is soft.

There is a clay pitcher and 2 drinking cups on the table.  The town is visible in the background.
Exterior nighttime scene from Nancy Drew book #81 The Mardi Gras Mystery, the group in full festive costumes arriving at the grand, shadowy Seaton Mansion known as 'Bat Hollow' in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Teenage detective Nancy Drew leads the way with reddish-blonde hair, wearing an elegant masquerade gown in blue and gold with purple accents, feathered half-mask, strands of colorful beads, and a mysterious smile. Beside her, Ned Nickerson in a dashing tuxedo or pirate-inspired costume with cape and tricorn hat. Bess Marvin (blonde, glamorous) in a sparkling pink feathered ball gown and elaborate headdress, George Fayne (short dark hair, sporty) in a fun jester outfit or adventurous explorer costume with mask. Brian Seaton and his father Bartholomew nearby in partial bat-themed costumes—dark capes, bat-wing collars, eerie masks with pointed ears. The historic Southern mansion looms behind: tall columns, wrought-iron balconies draped with Mardi Gras lights and purple/green/gold banners, flickering lanterns at the entrance, Spanish moss in ancient oaks, subtle bat motifs in the architecture, warm glowing windows hinting at antique interiors and the stolen portrait. Festive yet slightly eerie atmosphere—confetti in the air, distant parade sounds implied, dramatic twilight sky with stars, vibrant colors against gothic shadows. 1980s Nancy Drew book illustration style, adventurous and exciting, detailed costumes and group dynamic, cinematic wide-angle composition, lively holiday energy mixed with subtle suspense."

Oil Painting Art Style, a bustling scene featuring several vibrant Quaker Parrots (also known as Monk Parakeets) perched on and around their extraordinary communal nest. The nest is a massive, intricate structure built entirely from countless interwoven sticks and twigs, resembling a complex, multi-chambered apartment building for birds, integrated high within the sturdy branches of a large, leafy tree. Each visible entrance or chamber suggests multiple pairs of parrots coexisting. The Quaker Parrots themselves, with their distinctive green plumage, grey chests, and bright eyes, are actively flying to and from, bringing more sticks, or observing their bustling community. The setting is bright and lively, illuminated by clear, natural sunlight, casting detailed shadows and highlighting the texture of the sticks and feathers. Focus on the architectural complexity and scale of the stick nest, the industrious activity of the parrots, and the vibrant green and grey colors of the birds against the natural backdrop.

An interior scene.  An old Bible with dog-eared pages, a black leather cover, and words of Christ in red sits open on a table.  The camera sees the Bible at a 45 degree angle.  The table and chair are old and worn, sitting on a worn carpet on a wood plank floor.  There are some pens and highlighters, along with a  red ribbon bookmark, a half-empty drink and some paper clips.  The room is in low-light, and a small window is in the background.  Someone has been studying and just stepped away for a moment.  Some lines in the Bible are highlighted yellow.
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 forgot to go away.
At her Mother's house in Penang, Wing Sun's mother, a beautiful chinese woman in her 30s, is standing in her bedroom looking out the window at night.  We see her from a quarter view inside the room.  She is pensive and an air of tension fills the room as she remembers growing up in this house.  Her hair is long and black, and she's wearing her housecoat.  A lantern gives low light inside the room.  It's raining outside.
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.

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.
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.
