Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 
(Hebrews 2:14-18 KJV)

Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  This morning the sound of traffic in the street, 
scooters and tuk-tuks, taxis and trucks, was so loud I couldn’t hear my dream.  
So I turned it off and went dowstairs.
Taking in diesel fumes ‘til it hurt to breathe, I found a hawker-stall and ate.
It’s 100 degrees already; soon the rain will come.
The Fourth reached out his eager hand and felt about the knee. What most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain, said he; Tis clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree!

A historically accurate and atmospheric depiction of the signing of the Mayflower Compact aboard the ship in November 1620. The scene is set in the dimly lit, cramped cabin of the Mayflower, with the ship's timbers and rigging subtly visible, conveying the challenging conditions of the voyage. A simple table or chest serves as the signing surface. The primary focus is on a small group of the last individuals signing the document: specifically, the indentured servants (or 'strangers' not directly part of the Separatist congregation) approaching or at the table. Their expressions show a mix of weary determination, understanding of the necessity, and perhaps a hint of quiet apprehension or resignation to this new social contract, given their status. They are dressed in the plain, practical clothing typical of 17th-century commoners and laborers. Figures of prominent Pilgrims or 'Saints' (like William Bradford or John Carver) are visible in the background, observing the proceedings with a sense of gravity and leadership, but they are not the central focus. The lighting is low and warm, perhaps from a lantern, creating a chiaroscuro effect that highlights the faces of the signers. The atmosphere conveys the momentousness of the act under difficult circumstances, the diverse composition of the group, and the early seeds of self-governance in a new world. The artistic style is a realistic, historically detailed oil painting, capturing the solemnity and human element of this pivotal historical moment."

The First approached the elephant, and happening to fall against his broad and study side, at once began to bawl; God bless me! But the elephant is very like a wall!
