Finally Meeting Rick
Every day I walk to the coffee shop across the street. Every day I see the same homeless person with a sign asking for anything that would help.
He always has a warm smile for anyone who bothers to stop and say hello.
There are a lot of homeless in my city; young, old, veterans, addicts. I recognize how lucky I am to have lived my life of semi-privilege. So, today I finally took the time to stop and meet Rick.
When I came out the coffee shop I treated him to a sandwich and a cup of coffee. It didn't change his situation but maybe it helped lift his spirits. It certainly lifted mine.
