Another day, another moment reflecting on what might have been

Also:
Reflecting on whether there will be enough for dinner,
...on whether the dumpster in back has been picked through
...on whether the shelter will be a place of safety or continued violence
...on whether anyone notices that I'm only wearing socks
...on whether change will come in our lifetime

Don't give change. Make change.

Despair needs a new pair of shoes

And a warm bed.
A meal that wasn't discarded by someone else.
A hug versus a mere handout.
Acknowledgement.

Don't just give change. Make change
