Below are the first few lines and photo from the essay:

But seeing the homeless men stream through the dining area, eating with their coats on, was a reminder of one night in Chinatown, several years ago that left me feeling helpless.…..Click on link above to read my entire essay and leave a comment if you wish at the end of the essay.
