"Hope is the thing with feathers,
that perches in the soul,
and sings the song without the words,
and never stops at all."
Emily Dickinson
I spent a day in the garden. Spring had yielded many wonderful and delicious vegetables. But the summer had given me weeds that needed tending. My patch is in a community garden frequently visited by homeless people who forage for food. Eachtime I talk with a homeless person, I'm reminded that no one wakes up one day and decides it's a good idea to start begging for money and food on the streets. I had to cut my weeding time short because we have no facilities to wash or relieve ourselves at the garden. I thought to myself what it would be like to be in a situation where there was no place for me to clean up. It would be tough to rely on public facilities for soap and water.
