Crying For Forgiveness
The strangest thing happened to me as I was preparing to compose my sunset shot.
From the middle of the field I saw this man walking from afar towards a covered area, I guess where people shelter from the rain. As the sun went down I gathered my camera gear and went to my car, closed the door and started driving away, but I stopped; I had to know what he was doing there in the dark with no cars in site, just mine. He told me, “This is where I sleep”. I said it is so cold and windy, he said “it will be ok, I am used to” He said he had made some mistakes in life and now he is just paying for them. Homeless at 59 years of age with his only friend “the sunset” and praying he can see “the sunrise” again. So, I gave him what I had, not much… As I drove away, I started weeping I couldn't even see the road. I had to ask God to forgive me, because I have taken so many things for granted, and there are so many people without even a rock to lay their heads down. The sad thing about it is that I don’t even remember his name :'(
So this photo is for you my friend, sleep well.
