Photorealism Art Style, a distinguished human pastor, with a calm and wise expression, stands prominently in the foreground. He is impeccably dressed in a modern, dark suit, with a noticeable, large, and intricate cross necklace hanging clearly visible. Behind him, majestic and sprawling, is a grand, beautiful cathedral, its architecture a blend of classic and natural elements, perhaps with vines or trees subtly integrated into its design. The cathedral is situated within a vibrant, lush forest city, where towering trees and greenery are woven throughout the urban landscape. In the far distance, the sun is dramatically rising, casting a warm, golden light that illuminates the scene from behind, creating a serene and powerful atmosphere. Focus on realistic textures of the suit, the cross, stone of the cathedral, and the diverse foliage, all under natural, early morning light.

Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Back out on the open plain, our bus hurtles toward the city.
Smokestacks and temples rise up from the earth; two visions competing for the sky.
The woman on my right holds a chicken in her lap; rural wealth for a city friend?  On my left a Buddhist priest sits in quiet repose and presides over the world.
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Nearer to the city now, the bus thumps and bumps to a slower pace.
Grinding gears mark spaces between dirty children, playing obliviously in the road.
Neither village nor metropolis, outskirts have no identity:
Just a blurry line of encroachment;
a temporary half-life on the way to something more.

Dust springs up from the tires of trucks headed both ways on the road.
A little girl stands crying in a mud puddle; her brothers laughing from the sides.
She has to learn rejection to participate in this brutal, belonging dance.
A little life, and a little death
for a product truly worthy of its name: a good woman is hard to find.

Morning city scene in Petaling Jaya. A 10 year old chinese boy and his grandmother.  As they weave through the narrow sidewalk,  taxis zip by, buses screech to a halt at stoplights, motorbikes wend their way through the stopped traffic, trying to get a head start when the light turns green.  People in the informal businesses set up along the sidewalks call out greetings in a mix of Cantonese, Malay, and English. The sky, still soft with the remnants of dawn, and yet already heavy with humid heat, hinted at another sweltering afternoon ahead.
