I typically don't even think about handing cash to homeless standing by the intersections as I donate to a charity of my trust. But these days as I travel to Denver a lot for construction materials I run into them a lot. Today I saw one person holding a sign ' lost 7 toes.. waiting for SSI aid'... and I thought for one second it is Colorado after all, what if this person suffered hypothermia and then reached to my wallet and handed him the only bill that I had in it. He limped to come close and talked in a vain tone. I drove away as fast as I could so he couldn't see my teary eyes. And I thought to myself, I wish us humans were sometimes more receptive to change and accepting circumstances that are not in the domain of our belief system or our comfort zone but would consider them by the virtue of being right and fair thing to do. It is a hard spiritual trial but worth trying.
