Heaven Grants Glimpses...

"Heaven grants glimpses only to those not in a position to look too close."

-Robert Frost

I stood outside for about an hour and a half. It was 8 degrees out, and about every 15 minutes, I could catch a glimpse of the lunar eclipse. My tripod "burned" my unprotected hands which I uncovered to be able to push the small buttons, and manipulate the tiny dials on my camera. Between pictures I'd walk a little to keep warm, and driving lights in the darkness slowed... inquisitive. I was tracking the clouds, and could tell when, and where I would catch my glimpses, then I'd run back to the camera to take another set of shots. I had four opportunities to take my pictures in that time, and I got twenty-two of them. I was zoomed in so far that my shivering hands blurried most of them. This was my D-Day invasion, I guess. Of those twenty-two pictures, two of them came out. I carried my tripod back into my home, my hands frozen to the legs until I reached the warmth of the house. I ran to the computer to see what I could see. I was amazed that I had gotten two good pictures!

It really wasn't about those, was it?

Thank you for your consideration.

Me.
