I'm not meaning to belittle or demean the lives of anyone especially those who are being remembered by Homeless Memorial Plaza , far from it. When reading the article below I was reminded of the words of someone who works with homeless people. This person said that rather than saying he works with the homeless it would be more accurate to say he works with the hopeless. That bore witness with me and I thought it is a greater loss to be hopeless than it is to be homeless.
