a rainy morning

pondering how thankful I was that we park our car in a garage and didn't have to get wet this morning while loading up to go to school

pondering how, as soon as I lifted that up in thanks - genuine thanks - a pang hit me that actually I'm thankfully we have a home

then I was reminded of the fact that so many in this world, and in this very city, would love to live ... in our garage. just a place that's dry and safe

I will continue to ponder ways that I may contribute, may participate myself in an unjust system that perpetuates homelessness
