Just Hungry Again

Today, I saw "Just Hungry" in the same spot he's always sitting as I was on my way to work again. I see him at least once a week in the same place, depending on the weather. A few times I've given him a few dollars, one time, a muffin. I'm thinking about starting to carry snacks with me when I'm heading that way just to give to him. Maybe pack him a lunch or something.

I don't remember when I first started writing about this man. I don't know when I starting caring either, but something inside of me, something about him, pulls at me. I just don't know what it is.

I smile at him when I pass. He's one of the few homeless that I can look in the eye. I always feel guilty when I look at any of the others I see.

I want to sit down with him one day and talk to him. Find out what happened that drove him to this point in his life. I would love to take him out for a really great meal. Give him a few bucks, put him up in a hotel for a night so that he can shower and sleep in a comfortable place.

Maybe I'm strange for this, I don't know. Maybe I'm obsessive. But I really can't stand seeing anyone in pain, and this man seems to really be there right now.
