Your blog is lovely - inspirational, ...Hello Dave,<br /><br />Your blog is lovely - inspirational, and full of wisdom, and warmth, written with curiosity and a sharp, clear observation of how wonderful the small things of this world can be. It says a lot of the things I hope I can say, in my own words & my own time, to the people around me. <br /><br />I'm so used to reading rightly furious blogs about the unfairness of things in our society - feminist blogs, blogs about race, religion, disability, being trans - and so used to getting worked up, & sad, & wondering how much I can do, that I always save your blog for the last because it is the best of reminders that things can be changed.<br /><br />Thank you so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114772455649552240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-27172661495557282032009-07-07T08:41:06.337-04:002009-07-07T08:41:06.337-04:00someone's daughter, someone's son.

Thanks for showing this boy some humanity.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840254396320552806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-80236690921433406192009-07-06T21:41:35.834-04:002009-07-06T21:41:35.834-04:00We can't possibly know what that kid's lif...We can't possibly know what that kid's life is like and I'm appalled that people actually acted out violently towards him. My feeling is... my issue shouldn't be with what he does with the money once it leaves my hand, but with my willingness to help people who need it. Give with a pure heart and you'll never be disappointed. I feel sorry for those people who are so angry and offended, living in their little "it will never happen to me" box.Rachelhttp://ahippychick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-33757288954061857742009-07-06T13:32:33.233-04:002009-07-06T13:32:33.233-04:00I don't know what is the matter with people.

And yes, some are only pretending... but if they beg when they don't need, they are also sick in a way....rickismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817042750959998664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-83424501898543989642009-07-06T11:40:44.807-04:002009-07-06T11:40:44.807-04:00When I traveled a lot a couple of years ago, there...When I traveled a lot a couple of years ago, there were often a lot of homeless people in the busy cities I was in. Several times I gave food or a cold soda to them. I can't understand the violence--that just hurts. Literally kicking people who are already down! I had hoped in this economy more people were realizing that this could happen to anyone.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-50216943244119885522009-07-06T10:11:23.705-04:002009-07-06T10:11:23.705-04:00Good for you, Dave!
