It Is God The Only Son, Who Is Close To The Father's Heart

Out where the river runs wild and free
and only the brave dare row;
where the rapids are deep, and the challenge is fresh
and it takes them where it means to go.
With breakneck speed, grinning into the wind,
standing straight on the bow of their craft,
just a glimpse now and then of those captains you’ll catch
flying by, near capsizing your raft.

They’ve no time for advice to those standing on shore
or to aid the ones just wading out,
for their task is to pilot this current, they think,
and it’s all they can do to stay out of the drink,
and their lives could be gone in the space of a wink
should they lose but a moment to doubt.
Standing tall, they never must doubt!

An interior scene, walking into an old woodworker's shop.  The shop is orderly and neat, but well-used.  I see a workbench in front of me with a woodworker's vise mounted on it.  Several chisels, screwdrivers, mallets, claw hammers, and other such tools are hanging on the wall behind the bench.  A very nice black Windsor Chair is positioned on the bench ready for the seat to be repaired. Ambient light is low, and beams of light are streaming in from a source above, with motes of dust floating around in them.  Everything is ready for work.

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.”

observes a castaway man sailing a raft towards a larger island in the distance. The goddess spirit looks sad to see him leave and reaches a hand towards him but is unseen

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
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.

First century Jerusalem at the "gate beautiful" to the temple grounds.  Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

An outdoor scene at home in the back yard.  A white Dad and his African-American little girl (5) who is crying.  Dad is calming her and making her feel secure.
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.

A massive, solid metal USSR emblem glows harshly in red and gold, radiating intense, blinding light. The emblem is firmly pressed down onto the back of a large, dark eagle, which is clearly pinned and crushed beneath its weight. The eagle’s wings are forcibly flattened and bent outward, feathers distorted, body warped under the relentless pressure. Its legs and torso are pressed into the ground, unable to move, showing literal physical force. The emblem dominates the composition, casting sharp, dramatic shadows across the dark eagle. The scene is rendered in bold, graphic socialist propaganda poster style, with high-contrast colors, simplified forms, exaggerated perspective, and stylized lighting. Harsh rays of light radiate from the emblem, emphasizing power and oppression. No abstract symbolism, no heroic balance, no floating elements — only a monumental emblem pressing down, physically immobilizing the eagle.
An indoor scene in at home.  A Mom and Dad sit on the bed with their little girl, who is smiling.  The mood is warm and secure.  The little girl is about 10 years old.  She's contented.  Dad is about to tell a story.
First century Palestine.  An evening scene on a rooftop in Bethlehem.  The summer air is warm and the evening light is soft.  Jesus, wearing ordinary clothing like most men wear, sits at a table across from a Pharisee named Nicodemus who has come to speak to the Master privately.  One or two servers stand nearby.  There is a clay pitcher and 2 drinking cups on the table.  The town is visible in the background.
An outdoor scene on a street in town.  A White Mom with her two Asian (Chinese-looking) children are standing in front of a store. Mom is talking to the girl, who is making a fuss.  She is unhappy about something, and crying.  Her brother is looking on.  Mom is about to say something.
“For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” (2 Corinthians 4:11-13, KJV)
