A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them.William Blake (18 century poet and philosopher) summed it up perfectly with the following lines from his epic poem 'Jerusalem' in which he said:"I must Create a System, or be enslaved by another Man's; I will not Reason and Compare; my business is to Create."The author Robertson Davies was even more brutally honest in his book 'The Deptford Trilogy ' (p477), when he said:"Be sure to choose what you believe and know why you believe it, because if you don't choose your beliefs, you may be certain that some belief, and probably not a very creditable one, will choose you." What all this means is that a person should embrace ideas and beliefs that sit well with him or her at the present time, whilst keeping in mind that as awareness about reality expands with the advent of new experiences, so must one's concept of reality change accordingly.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Poverty is our Adversary!"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression, and out of the wounds of a frail world, new systems of justice and equality are being born. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty." -- Martin Luther King Jr., April 4, 1967.

First Post

This is a picture of me and a friend at Food for Life on Tuesday nights. I help by sampling the food before it is served to my friends.

This is my first post to my blog. I plan to record what I do each week so that others will have some idea what it means to be homeless and how I live. Any encouragement would be appreciated. Thank you for your interest.
