Yes, I kept walking because I knew I had to take care of myself. And I was walking because I needed exercise. I got in a good hour long walk this morning. Becuase it was something I needed to do for me. I walked with a destination. It was a selfish destination, but maybe I got some good done today. At work I helped a mom and her kid. The kid was so sweet and bright. The mom didn't know how to look for a school for the girl. The mom probably hasn't had a conversation with an adult in too long. She was starved for adult interaction. I help. It feels good. I'm no Ayn Rand. I wonder if I had helped this teh homeless woman this morning if I would feel even better. Ultimately, I worry that if I had given her money, she may have used it to further her misery. If I had woken her up, she may have reacted badly. If I had given her food, she probably would be suspicious of it and throw it away. I don't want to be sucked into her life, but I would like to know if I could have made a difference. I don't think she could tell me, but I'd like to know why and how she ended up on my stairs. What makes her different from me? Life can be so cruel. Lar is right about faith. But I pity her if faith is all she has. I wish I could have given her something of substance. oh well.
