Send to a friendWe often say that "an image is worth a thousand words." When I think of the sheer number of images that confront us each day, I'm not so sure that this is true. At the end of the day, an image is worth no more than that which it portrays.
Today, I would like you to meet my neighbours. We all need roots; the ties of belonging, of friendship, of love - here are the smiles that warm my heart on the days when I feel most alone.
These images are not worth a thousand words, but they do ease my pain when I need to be carried away by laughter.
Have a good week!
Jonathan
