Really, though, the most thought provoking part of my day began with a homeless man. This dude come up to me and just starts weeping. He then brings his wife over. She has no teeth and she soon starts crying to. I sang "Man in the Mirror" for them and they shouted their praises as I sang about the hungry and the homeless. The woman offered to share her "mat" at the homeless shelter with me anytime. The man told me that I mad his day and that he was leaving Calgary tomorrow because his father is on his death bed. On a Jet plane. So I dug through my music and found the tabs for "Leaving on a Jet Plane". I played it fir them and they sang along and absolute howled with emotion. Both of them hugged me and thanked me profusely. Then, THE HOMELESS MAN PUT A TOONIE IN MY TIP JAR. Surreal. The next thing I knew, they were gone.
My soul needed this day.
