Sunday afternoon, I saw a death happen right in front of me in a place that looked a lot like this photo. It happened in downtown Boston on the plaza between Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market. About 30 of us watched this life suddenly fall to the ground, convulse several times, and then go still. Everyone who saw it wasn’t quite sure what to do. One person went over to the body and looked to see if it was still moving when her partner poked her in the side as a joke, giving her quite a surprise. Others of us looked at one another and there were whispers of “is it dead?” No one knew quite what to do until one young woman took her jacket, gently picked up the body, and moved it out of the plaza where we were all sitting. Meanwhile a street performer was continuing his act - juggling knives, standing on a big balance ball, and so forth and life moved on.
Just another homeless person- that's been me for 4 months. A 68 year old homeless person with 3 Masters and handicaps in one of the country's poorest cities. Who Social Services purposely "timed out": so they wouldn't have to deal with "another homeless person".
Words fail me but I am hoping that your post from a few days ago about a new apartment are still your reality and that it can be a new place of safety and home for you.
Bringing most of my stuff ( that I grabbed as I left 4 months ago) over to my new place today and officially moved in Thursday with at least a bed. Rest will come
I am such a Nature person that this almost made me cry. And humans are the cause of why pigeons flock around cities, we took away there trees and built tall buildings. We have killed insects and pollinators. Enough said. God made all these birds, insects, flowers, animals for a purpose and how are we paying Him back? By killing.

May it not always be so. Please vote
And yes I have voted.
