“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” (Hebrews 10:16-17, KJV)
Palm-sized mythical horse figurine, anatomically correct with gentle pose and calm expression, subtle wings, minimalist fantasy style, whimsical and serene, soft studio lighting with shallow depth of field, plain background, limited colors, high but restrained detail
Golden Age Fantasy Illustration Style, Painterly Realism, Crystalline Underwater Photography Aesthetic. A stunning view looking down through impossibly clear ocean water at a royal hunting party of Narnian Merpeople riding through ancient, seaweed-covered ruins on the seabed.

The Crucial Riding Posture: The Merpeople are riding large, powerful, scaled hippocamps (mythical sea-horses). Crucially, the merfolk are perched securely in a distinct side-saddle position on the backs of their mounts. Their powerful, scaled fish tails are coiled elegantly around the side flank of the hippocampus for stability, rather than straddling them like a human.

The Seahorse Anatomy: The hippocamps themselves have massive, armored tails that curl tightly forward beneath their own bodies, pushing them through the water.

Key Figures & Details: The Mer-King, with flowing white hair and fierce eyes, sits side-saddle, holding a gold-tipped spear. His deep amethyst tail is visible coiled against the mount’s scales. A Mer-Queen rides beside him wearing a shimmering gown. Bright shafts of sunlight pierce the water, illuminating the specific details of their riding posture and glittering scales.
Without words create a picture of mercy and faithfulness in the heavens based on this verse: “For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.” (Psalms 89:2, KJV)

no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it,
or the cry of distress.

No more shall there be in it
an infant that lives but a few days,
or an old person who does not live out a lifetime;

for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,
and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.

They shall build houses and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4, KJV)
In days to come I stood amazed, walking through that forest, at the blazing symphony of color it brought forth, seemingly just for me.  I grew to love my friend’s words in a new way, through the astounding beauty of the spectacle he knew was coming when he said them.  I was young then, and didn’t know I had many autumns ahead of me.
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.
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.  Afternoon rain forces us into the coolness of the little house, surrounded by rice paddies, 
where Grandmother assembles strings of Christmas lights; bound for somewhere.
Young mother watches three children grow,
and wonders:  What will their lives be?
Can’t dream of what she’s never seen; can’t see what she can’t dream.
First confession under cherry blossoms
Love letter confession scene
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.

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.
Life is all around for us to hold.
Spring will come again
when we forget the winter cold.
Soon will be the summer,
when the evenings linger long
with jokes and quips and camping trips,
a kindred summer song.

	The time won’t last forever, we can see;
	still, we should learn the lesson of the tree.
	In winter snow or summer’s long good-bye,
	trees keep reaching upward to the sky.
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."

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. I’m wearing old clothes and sandals just like Him. The air is cool and crisp. The sky is bright blue on the horizon with deep purple fading into black at the upper atmosphere. The air is crisp and clear. It’s like the desert in California looking east toward Arizona. There are desert hills on the north and south sides and mountains in the distance.
I lift up my eyes toward the sky;
know my heart and home are there,
where the ones before me lie.
One day, I’ll be gathered up
and carried to that place
where I shall know as I am known,
and see my Maker’s face.

	It’s appointed unto us just once to be:
	We linger here, but soon we’ll be set free.
 	No more reaching upward ‘til we die,
	Our roots stay here.  We stretch beyond the sky.
Ronin facing sunset duel
"A fashionable woman dressed in sophisticated, modest 1930s Great Depression era style, embodying an Art Deco aesthetic. She wears an elegant, tailored day dress or a chic suit-dress made of fine wool crepe or flowing rayon. The dress features a sleek, elongated silhouette with a defined natural waist, often belted. Details include a soft cowl neck or a demure V-neck with subtle draping, and perhaps gently puffed or structured sleeves. The hemline is at a modest mid-calf length, possibly with soft pleating or subtle flare. Her hair is styled in sculpted finger waves, and she wears a small, stylish cloche or tilted hat. She holds an elegant, tailored handbag and wears matching gloves. The setting is a refined Art Deco interior, perhaps a classy hotel lobby or a stylish office, with geometric patterns and warm, indirect lighting. The overall mood is one of poise, understated sophistication, and timeless chic."
A dramatic, close-up, high-contrast portrait inspired by Song of Songs 5:11. The subject's head is crowned with dramatically wavy hair that is intensely, intensely black—like the glossy feathers of a raven. A radiant, ethereal golden light emanates from the crown of the head, casting a dramatic glow. This golden light is surrounded by a rich, powerful aura of royal deep purple and mysterious black shadow. The portrait should emphasize the texture and depth of the black hair, contrasting sharply with the bright gold and the saturated purple surrounding the subject. The style should be elegant, opulent, and symbolic, focusing purely on the aesthetic of divine beauty and royal power

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.
I sat, long ago, on an Asian hill with a Shakya Mundi friend, and watched the autumn leaves fall down from high above, giants in the forest casting off their wakefulness, falling progressively into winter’s long, white sleep. 

“The important thing to know about trees” he said, “is that they are most beautiful in autumn; just before the winter snow.  They live and grow through the entire year just for these brief moments of stunning beauty.  We are like that.” He said, “but we have only one autumn, and a very long winter.”

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.
The monster (Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, 	all hoary-frost above behemoth shoulders.  Snake-like clouds adorning her, I crane my neck, Gaze fixed past the big white house toward uplifted boulders.
And at the South, like his namesake martyr, Hyacinth (Mt. San Jacinto) has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue backdrop
	he wears that legacy proud.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  Accentuate Sonora’s west extremes, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.
