Home.....less



This photo was take by Chris at

This is a picture of two homeless guys in Nashville, Tennessee trying to stay warm by laying on a warm exhaust vent in the sidewalk. I'm not sure if they consider this "home" or not. And perhaps its the lack of home that makes it such a powerful picture.

Yes, I passed by one of those vents before. The air is really warm. I actually saw a group of young people (maybe young homeless) that sat on top of the vent to keep them warm. I saw lots of homeless walking around with blanket when I went the library and it was close at 6pm instead of 8pm that day. It makes me feel sad yet feel so blessed that I could be in the house with 65-70 degree temperature. Weird thing is that some people arent grateful of that. It makes me feel so humble to see underprivilege people and annoyed to the ungrateful and entitled ones.

I printed out this picture and showed it to the boys. I think it left them with something bigger to think about instead of being selfish and ungrateful.
