LEARN FROM THE LITTLE ONES
“For although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.” – Matthew 11:25
Here’s a popular story I love.
A large truck passes under a low-lying overpass. The driver doesn’t pay close enough attention to the posted maximum height limitation and the truck gets stuck. It’s too large to fit under the overpass and has wedged itself under the bridge. As the police officers, fire department and a multitude of people stand around trying to figure out how to solve the problem, a little boy speaks up and says, “Why don’t you just let the air out of the tires?”
I once asked a director for some tips on framing my shots as a videographer. He told me to read comics. They have the best framing because the artist has a free hand in placing the characters in the most dramatic positions.
He was right. I would never have thought I’d find the answer from something so “kiddie.”
REFLECTION:
Are you in a complicated situation? What would be the simplest solution?
Lord, help me to be childlike.
Blessed Angeline of Marsciano, pray for us.
