Discovering new friends

I went for a walk yesterday and made some new friends. The two travel together and watch each others back while alternating from living on the street to staying at shelters. The own very little but seemed very content. We spent about 15 minutes together and I was very grateful for having the chance to borrow some time from them. 

Recently a book was released called: Finding Grace. I highly recommend it. The photographer is incredible and his passion to draw attention to the issues of homelessness are even greater. Here is how his publishers described the book:

Strength. Dignity. Humanity. Grace. These most human and admirable of qualities are not commonly the first we associate with America's homeless, so often overlooked or avoided on our city streets, but there are the qualities that can be found in the faces pictures in this astonishing book of portraits. These are our sisters and brothers, and this collection of portraits honors them. Photographer Lynn Blodgett took time to find the dignity in his subjects. He listed to their stories, and he has created a compelling and gorgeous social document, startlingly beautiful and simple. What we witness through his lens is the grace and humanity that can be found in the gravest of circumstances. Marian Wright Edelman wrote the forward. 

Here is where you can order it from: Amazon.com

I highly recommend it.
