Haiti Earthquake, A Picture That Says It All

Every once in a while you see a picture that makes you think. I just received a Haiti earthquake picture from my friend Cathia and I kept on looking at it and thinking... If this person is smiling then what is your reason for being sad?

Here is the picture...

A man is laying on a mattress in the middle of the road in Haiti...

Everything around him is destroyed by the earthquake...

And...

He is just laying there, smiling.. and playing with his baby...

Wow!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but the smile on this photo is worth a whole lot more...

I just wish I knew the name of the photographer who took this picture. If you do please let me know.

Here is the caption I received with this "Picture of the Month" from Cathia Degand who is, by the way, a Haitian filmmaker, the director of the Haitian movie Kisa Josephine Genyen:

The most beautiful picture I've ever seen in my life.
Precious and innocent.....
Peace and love.
Haiti, June 2010
Il n'y a pas de plus grand plaisir que la vie
(Nothing is more precious than life itself)

So... What's on your mind?belpoz.com/picture-8072

Otez les mains devant vos yeux et la lumière paraitra, qui était là de doute eternité ''Mr.Yverlens''
