Now, we’ll all have our time on the rapid And we may end together, alone, going ‘round and about in an eddy bruised and broken and soaked to the bone.

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.

Golden Age Storybook Illustration Style, Rich Watercolor and Ink, Detailed Textures. A narrative scene capturing the tense moment of realization outside a rugged, dark cave entrance hidden among dry rocks and gnarled roots. The Fox and the Evidence: In the bright, sunlit foreground, a clever, reddish-orange fox sits alertly on its haunches, a safe distance from the cave mouth. Its head is tilted, looking intently at the dusty ground. The dirt path leading directly into the dark cave is a chaotic, heavily trampled mess of hundreds of distinct footprints—deer hooves, rabbit paws, badger claws—all pointing inward. Crucially, the dusty ground leading away from the cave is completely smooth and untouched by return tracks. The Lion and the Den: The cave entrance is a gaping maw of deep shadow. Deep within the darkness, only the faint, glowing yellow eyes and the vague, gaunt outline of the old lion lying in wait are visible, watching the fox intently. The contrast between the warm sunlight outside and the cold darkness inside is sharp.

So, you look at those captains and then at yourself and you wonder: “Why them, and not me?” As you paddle along in your pitiful state, a canoe you hope no one will see. But there’s just enough room for those trusted to you for safe passage, provisions, and tare. So, you keep to yourself, and you follow the shore, making passage for those in your care.

An hourglass breaking apart
The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite. Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders. And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud. Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop. Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth: They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon, high up on the left, forgot to go away.
Golden Age Storybook Illustration Style, Rich Watercolor and Ink, Warm Sun-Drenched Lighting. A dynamic scene capturing a moment of desperate effort in a lush, overgrown vineyard. The Action (The Fox): A lithe, reddish-orange fox is caught in mid-air at the very apex of a maximum vertical leap. Its body is stretched precariously thin, hind legs kicking the air, and front paws strained upward. Its jaws are snapping wildly just inches below the target, eyes wide with intense, watering desire and frustration. The fox looks slightly bedraggled, suggesting this is not the first jump. The Prize (The Grapes): Hanging tantalizingly just out of reach from a thick, gnarled old vine is a magnificent, heavy cluster of deep purple, plump grapes. They are rendered to look incredibly juicy, dusted with natural bloom and catching the sunlight so they appear almost glowing and irresistible. The Setting: The afternoon sun filters through broad green grape leaves, casting dappled light on the dusty ground below, which shows disturbed earth from previous failed attempts. The overall mood is one of hot, tantalizing frustration.
Whimsical Storybook Illustration Style, Warm Color Palette, Soft Textures and Detailed Linework. A wide-angle view of a secret, crowded meeting of dozens of anthropomorphic field mice taking place on an upturned wooden crate in the corner of a cluttered, dusty barn. The Focal Point (The Plan): In the center of the crate spotlighted by a beam of sunlight coming through a crack in the roof, a small, earnest mouse stands on its hind legs, triumphantly holding aloft a shiny brass sleigh bell tied with a bright red ribbon. The bell looks impossibly large and heavy for the mouse. The Reaction (The Hesitation): The surrounding crowd of mice is a mix of emotions. Some in the front row are cheering with tiny paws raised. However, many others towards the back are exchanging nervous, sidelong glances, scratching their heads, or looking fearfully over their shoulders. The Threat (The Reality): In the background, on top of a high stack of hay bales, a giant, fluffy tabby cat is fast asleep. Though sleeping, its size and sharp claws are evident, casting a shadow over the edge of the meeting area. The contrast between the small, shiny bell and the enormous sleeping predator is central to the image.

A steampunk alchemist stands in a cluttered workshop illuminated by the warm glow of gas lamps. He wears a leather apron adorned with brass buckles and a pair of intricate goggles perched on his forehead. His gloved hands tinker with a bubbling alembic connected by coiled copper tubes to a maze of glass vials filled with glowing, iridescent liquids. The background is a mix of Victorian elegance and industrial grit--ornate wooden shelves lined with dusty tomes and jars of exotic ingredients, alongside rusted gears and steam-powered contraptions whirring softly. A faint mist of steam rises from a brass furnace, and a mechanical raven with glowing red eyes perches on a nearby stand, observing the scene with curiosity.

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.
