I remember the first time I saw or should I say became aware of him My walk from Pt Authority was determined by how many homeless I saw While I was getting my coffee and bagel from my guy on the street who sold breakfast every morning no matter the weather I looked over to my left at the crowd in the park and saw him He had a few people around him talking smiling and just mesmerized by him He looked at me and our eyes met for on a few seconds and then he turned back to those who were hanging on his every word It felt like a lifetime his eyes went through me into my soul if only for a moment I went about my morning giving the morning events only a fleeting thought but somehow I was changed somehow I saw something I did not know what and maybe never really understand
