Through the lens of time and culture, our world views have evolved, as seen in this 19th-century Japanese map of the universe (Jain cosmological map) compared to Igirisukoku Rondon no zu, a depiction of London, England. In the quiet of a bedroom, a mother and child say their bedtime prayers, their faith a beacon in the darkness (2 Corinthians 16: 9). Nature's creatures, like these crows flying towards a church tower, also hold their own beliefs, while the beauty of a simple vase of tulips (Romans 5: 5 in French) serves as a reminder of the hope and renewal that transcends all beliefs. Each perspective, unique and interconnected, shapes our understanding of the world around us.
