It would be wonderful if more people would give to the homeless and the needy like this --- we think of the homeless as dirty and lazy and somehow less human. A wonderful video you've shared -- and accompanied by your senryu I am very touched. Brava --
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jen. I went into more of a narrative on my other blog but really wanted to share that video. What amazing youths!
DeleteI think because my car doesn't look pretty... to many dents I received an anonymous gift card in the grocery parking lot. There were options I considered, but in the end I left it on another car in a different lot...
ReplyDeleteOur local high schools have several programs that raise funds for local shelters. One year our eldest was in the show. Youth can be wonderful. Once they get out of the 'gimmie' stage.
What a great programme for high schools to be more aware of the sad realities ...I find young people in general are nice and caring. I remember my son when he went to McGill did not have much money so he chose one regular homeless person he saw often with his dog and gave to him. you do what you can. it's okay to look a person in the eye and say you are sorry if you don't have any money...ignoring them hurts.
Deletelook into the mirror
ReplyDeleteand see the face of a beggar
in the metro.
You are a wonder! So much empathy. :-)
Oh I love your haiku, Georgia,
