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!
You may very well not know me
Unfamiliar as I am
The heart and mind that bore me
Never had this planned
Out of convenience or bad practice
It seems I’ve been cursed
To be ignored as you worship the Lord
Just another old hymn’s dusty third verse
