real world

I was in Prague last weekend - one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, if not further afield. While there, I was reminded of the stark contrast of life. The world bustled and hurried and scurried on around this man with excited tourists taking snaps of the sights and scenes, while listening to the droning voices of their tour guides. For this man, however, this hive of activity brings only hope. Hope for generocity and kindness. Hope for a bowl of food and a bed for the night. And perhaps something for his loyal companion and friend. A humbling experience and a strong, timely reminder of the importance of humility and the full spectrum of life as we each live and experience it.
