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!
*profitless hours dithered
**morbidly introspective thinking
All this I have tested by wisdom.
I said "I will be wise." but it was far from me.
That which has been is far off, and deep,
very deep; who can find it out?
Ecclesiastes 7:23-24
