Warmth at Midnight
Canberra winters are extremely cold, and 2014 brought some of our coldest days. One weekday night I walked to the 31 supermarket before it closed at midnight.
As I approached, I noticed a group of six or seven people 32 by the supermarket entrance. Aware of the 33 of late-night walking, I made sure I paid attention. The scene ahead looked unusual.
And unusual it was. Expecting to see a group of 34 troublemakers, I found a weak, well-dressed old man distributing items of food to a group of homeless people. Rather than just feeding them, he was also engaging them in a 35 of warm discussion.
The homeless people were rough-looking and 36 dressed. But they listened to the man 37 , not just with gratitude for the food they had been 38 . With no charity vehicle in sight, this old man was only representing himself.
After I finished shopping, the group was still there, food 39 , but all laughing. If a weak old man can give to others in the 40 cold at midnight, what excuse do we have?
