I've always been fascinated with light.
There is so much to learn about life through observation of light. What General
Conference has not included at least one talk drawing some analogy concerning
light and some aspect of the gospel? I took a little trip into my own
conscience to understand a little more about light as I stumbled upon some
accidental light.
As I came out of the HFAC I came upon a
reflection in a puddle of water that showed a tree in the distance. As I
snapped a photo on my phone I noticed that the reflection was not showing up. I
noticed that this image was only possible in that moment. That the light (the
Spirit) and the puddle of water (Baptism) provided a once in a lifetime image
that cannot be recreated.
So are many things
in life. I cannot recapture many moments. Sometimes it is even impossible to
record it (as evident by my camera failing to capture all of this). I could
only truly experience the moment by actively living in the moment.

This is a great way to look at simple surroundings and recognize the symbolism that is in them. Everything testifies of God, and this is a great example of that.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting-I appreciate your observation towards this
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more. So often are we obsessed with capturing the moments of our lives to share them with others (like with pictures to put of Instagram) that we forget to actually live those moments.
