self-reflecting joy,pure joy of being,in the presence of children,pre-worry being,dads smile,happy to be,being here
Mona Lisa 2 (Dad's Smirk) (2007); "Why is this man smiling?"; Companion haiku: Mindful of Being this Vibrant Aware Presence Peace and Joy Abound. This one was taken in SC last year with a number of wonderful kids at a picnic table and reflects the "Pure Joy of Being" they so often and clearly express. Anyway I thought it would make a "perfect personal" icon for awhile.
