Blush. And nothing else. It's the best part anyway. DUH. facepalm.
 
------------------------------------

This afternoon, the lady on the corner asked me for some money. Her manners were impeccable. She smiled her one-tooth smile at me when I said Of course! and gave her everything in my pocket (all of one dollar and twenty-five cents), and she walked over to the counter to get something to eat. When I turned back to my burger, I'd lost my appetite. 
We as a community can do much more, but.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. 
I wonder how she got to where she is. What job she had, who her family is/was/should have been. what she wanted to be when she grew up, because it sure as hell wasn't 'homeless'. Mostly I wonder about her name.


P.S. 10% of our people own and/or control 90% of our wealth. Do you know what that sounds like to me?
