Wow Manuel...thank you for doing this work. I deeply connect with your opening statement that a child lives to see a smile on her father's face. I am that person and that desire has dictated many of my choices particularly around relationships - And now to see how you have used the arts to open up and bring that inner smile to fathers is just so wonderful and fills me with hope for girls to grow up without being dictated by that need and instead feel free knowing that their father will and does always smile at her brightness within. Thank you again.

The containing space of paper and paint in the presence of non-judging energy, opened up a connection to self's longing for childhood play. May they keep on connecting in playful creation.
