Homelessness Awareness

I went to the Homelessness Awareness service today at 5 in the Inner Harbor amphitheater. I was worried that it would be too sad to handle, but this morning at church we did a litany about homelessness that I found very moving. So I figured it might feel good to my soul somehow.

The main event was the reading of names, followed by, "We will remember." There was a decent-sized crowd there, too, in spite of the cold. I found it encouraging to be lighting candles together, honoring the dead, and committing to the struggle once again. One of the best parts, really, was when some of the men from Earl's Place (a transitional shelter) sang some songs. They had great voices. Like angels? :)
