a rose in downtown sacramento

This is from an old blog of mine, but it has been such an instrumental story from my life that I wanted to share it here...I was having dinner with a dear friend and his mother on April 26, 2007.

I met a lady last night selling roses on the street corner. Her body was small and withered, but her eyes glowed with passion for life. I had no money in my wallet, but she insisted that I take one of her roses anyway..."I have been blessed in my life, now let me bless you" is all she said. I found a way to get some cash for her, but more importantly reach out and give her a hug, her words and actions are what I would like to have more of coming out of my life...
