Confessions: Not so beautiful after all...
One day at the Broadway and Commercial skytrain, I saw a beggar. I had a sandwich in my backpack, that I didn't eat for lunch. I had the choice to give it to him, but as the buss neared the intersection I turned away from him and hurried across the street. As the bus started to fill with people I tried not to remember him, I wished the people would pile up faster ...because I was in a hurry to get away from the scene of the crime.
Now that I look back at it, was it the same day that I got a compliment from a stranger? I think it was. The day that I was blessed ( what a beautiful person ) I failed to be a blessing to another.
I forgot about him for a few days, until I cleaned out my backpack and pulled out a musky smelling sandwich. As I threw it into the trash, I felt the burden of guilt bear down on my memory. Good intentions are nothing if they never become actions.
