DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
I like to sit and watch the day arrive
With little thought as to what
It may - or may not bring
A certain comfort
Rising silently
A welcome same old thing
The light that gently breaks
Sends the night on its lonesome way
Divinely ordered repetition
Nature’s obedient response
Let there be light to rule the day
You said it only once
(Genesis 1:17)
