Maddox and a Camera

Maddox Took This

Pardon me for the outright self-portrait.  I am not one for selfies.  But this picture was taken by my 2 1/2 year old.  He is fascinated by cameras so I let him have at it every once in a while. 

And this is what he sees.

Me.

I have spent a large portion of my life crafting a me that everyone would find acceptable. Am I nice enough? Am I kind enough?  Am I giving enough?  And I smart enough?  Am I thin enough?  Am I enough... But kids have a way of cutting to the heart of the issue.  They are primal.  They are needy.  They don't judge a book by its cover.

And this is what he sees.
