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.

First century Palestine.  Mid-morning in a rural area.  The sun is warm and the atmosphere is positive.  Jesus and His disciples walk along a country road that goes to Bethany. There are some trees shading part of the road ahead, and cultivated fields on either side of the road.  Jesus, wears ordinary clothing like most men, and He’s talking to His disciples as the walk along.  The disciples are listening intently to Jesus, and His face is kind, but intense.  A farm house sits off to one side, and the town is visible in the distance.
