Merry christmas from seattle,
one of the richer cities in the
world's richest country, where
public parks have become
economic refugee camps. the
usa is a cruel place, the only
industrial nation where a
single medical emergency
can lead to destitution and
homelessness. something
in me finally broke this
week, unable to turn a
blind eye to ever increasing suffering as we
head deeper into crisis. it's a band-aid where a
tourniquet is needed, but today we grilled
some burgers
and distributed
wrapped gift packs (socks, handwarmers, cash) to
anyone who wanted them. the calories are real, but
it's also to let those who've been pushed to the
edges know that they are still seen and cared about.
