I live in the mission

Scott Walker December 24, 2015

"I live in the mission," he told me with a pause. "I can't get a job because of a felony," he said after walking over to my truck.

When I first saw him, he was standing at the exit ramp of Sam Cooper Blvd. at North Highland Ave. in Memphis. He was holding a small cardboard sign asking for help. "I violated my probation and had to spend another 7-months in jail," he said with slow deep thought.

“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
