Personally, I wouldn't have risked the discomfort of my family (maybe they're less enlightened than yours) -- and would have settled for one person missing from the photo.
Yes, your commune with the bums, your unique insight into the plight of man, his universal bond of brotherhood, and the intertwining nature of all our kindness to one another has elevated your life to a higher plane of seeing potentiality in those you meet. The rest of us will handle the reality portion while you dream...

As we posed for pictures a young panhandler walked up and asked if I wanted him to take our pictures together. I gave him the digital camera and walked over to the marker and he took a couple of photos. Seeing that he was shirtless and missing some teeth, I gave him a dollar for his kindness and he was very grateful and he gave me a warm hug. Amazing how much positive energy I felt from this bum. As he hugged me, I hoped that good would come to him. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Has someone you know been affected by illness or disease?
