A Thousand Reasons: delight

"The sharp knife of a short life
I've had just enough time..."

- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry

I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

A Smile Is Quite A Funny Thing.

I've had just enough time to... let a smile escape.

An instant capture of of a smile in Beirut, Lebanon.

A smile is quite a funny thing

It wrinkles up your face

And when it's gone, you'll never find

Its secret hiding place

But far more wonderful it is

To see what smiles can do

You smile at one, she smiles at you

And so one smile makes two

I can write a lot about smile and the things that it can do. But no words of mine can replace what one smile can do. Not all smiles are equal however, and the most delightful ones are - those that bolt from the heart before you can scramble to close the gate. They are the purest and rarest smiles of all. And to the one who gives and the one who receives – what a delight it is!
