This is just great. The picture speaks your haiku. I can just hear him say it too, he is just such lovey and gentle ordinary person. Small of stature but big of heart.

Interesting questions...if only people who needed them answered - had the answers, the world would be a less frightening place for some.

I love it! - truly a gift to be content with who one is (especially with regard to things we can't change, like physical height, colour of our skin, etc)
