Under a tree on busy Fairfax Boulevard I find a Man watching the cars go by. His name is Michael, and he is from Florida.

His dream is to return to Cosmetology.

His words are few…..here is out Q and A….

“How are you today”? I ask….”Fine” he replies.

“Where are you from”? ….”Miami”.

“How long have you been on the streets”?….”10 years”.

“”Are you going to go back to school for Cosmetology”?…”Yes I am, if I feel like it”.

“What are you grateful for today”?….”Nothing”.

“Do you have a lesson about life to share”?…”um……Nothing”.

“Today, you’re doing OK”?….”Yes”.

“Is there anything that you need?”….”No”.

Michael then proceeds to lay back down on the sidewalk and says goodby.
