You'll notice he's not wearing pants.
That is a minor detail I did NOT catch when I got distracted by his hand-hewn canoe and shiny fish.
And what a fascinating disconnect to find beauty and pain so close to each other.

Malawi Memory
I was looking through some pictures from Malawi, and ran across this:

I'll be honest. I didn't notice either. I was distracted by the huge floppy fish on the bow. I think his name is Hanz and I am sad for him.
You crack me up.
Rest in peace, Hanz. (Or, as the Malawian children said to me as we leave: Go in pieces, Hanz)
