On my way to work....

    As I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an

    important meeting, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate,

    persons that are found in every city these days.

    Wearing what can only be describes as rags, and carrying some meagre

    worldly possesion in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by

    this person' s condition.

    Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away not wishing to make eye contact.

    Recalling some long ago religious admonition to "care for

    the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked," I was moved

    by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person.

    Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty.

    A small voice inside my head called out,

    "Reach out, reach out!"

    So I did..........
