Photo of The Day.

What if place was ambiguous. What if our physical possessions never played a part in our story. Once we start compiling a list of peoples possessions we create a story for them. We determine how happy or unhappy they must be based on our narrow assumptions. 

This little lady lived in a castle in  the sky. Everything tangible and intangible is within reach for her. She played on clouds everyday and was surrounded by people that adored her. She has everything she needs in order to survive and succeed. You can see the happiness in her face.

.....or this little girl lived in the Cassiano home projects, in a barely furnished apartment. The grass was brown and burnt, and the heat seemed as if it could melt the bottom of her chanclas and burn her little feet. BUT she had the biggest smile I had seen all day. When I showed her the photo I took of her she smiled and her eyes twinkled, and her happiness rubbed off on me, and I thank her for that.
