Sunrise, sunset

December 29, 2011

Hello everyone,
I’ve been thinking back to Tony’s experience of Christmas. I don’t remember Tony being hungry as Christmas Eve would set in. Far from it. Many individuals, restaurants, cafes and other shops were reliably generous. But he often had nowhere to go. And so he’d end up gathering together with other street people who also had nowhere to go. Later, he might sit on the steps of Margi’s Pharmacy at the corner of Roncesvalles and Howard Park, waiting for the sun to come up or perhaps waiting for it to set.

    I find myself often thinking of Tony. He has affected my life even though we never met. “if you know what I mean.”

    My friend John and I, based in NYC, are working on a website called sherlockhomeless.org to provide a
    platform for people interested in helping their neighborhood homeless to connect with each other. We are admirers of your blog and would love to hear your feedback on our project. What is the best way where we can reach you?
