A Moment of Truth


A couple of posts back I wrote about a moment of connection, joy and delight between father and daughter that can expand to last a life time (A Magic Summer Evening Long Ago).

Then by twitter I received this wonderful photograph which captures so perfectly what I stumbled to express in words.  The very moment of shared recognition. 

What a lovely picture.  I am without words.

 


The photograph is by Natasha Badhwar,  a writer, teacher and film-maker who tweets with astonishing clarity and beauty.  If you are not already following her you should seriously consider it.  Your life would be enriched.  @natashabadhwar.  

She has kindly allowed me to share this picture with you.

I am lucky enough to have a picture of such a moment between my own daughter and I, when she was very young.  You can find it here.
