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!
Somewhere along the way
Through the chaos leading to the holiday
I ignored my obligation to join the Christmas rush
And joined the quiet celebration of the Christmas hush
(after all, it’s about the journey of
a baby who needs his rest . . . in the beginning)
