there is a Hari Krishna society in the town i live.. my cousin, mother of two, attends, makes aquaintenances who sometimes become friends and it is a supportive network of those who believe in sharing and caring for each other.. ive never really attended the meetings myself, i'm aware they provide free, nutricious food for any asking, shelter, other services an individual may find themselves in need of at different times and for different reasons.. yes, Hari Krishna...

i was practicing my art work in Santa Fe.. lived in my car at the time, worked odd labor, struggled to get by..

went to a mothel there, the maintenance manager saw me and the works i was presently presenting.. approached me and offered a free breakfast.. following that, he took me to his ranchlands... quite beautiful as you can imagine... there, i performed some cleanup.. the man paid me handsomly and gave me a choice of gifts.. i chose a cow hide he was going to add to the rubbish pile...

i carried the cowhide for about a year... never knowing exactly how to use it... a short time later, i found myself in another area, among total strangers...

one aquaintenance was an artist herself and worked with leather... i gave her the piece to make a cowboy costume, child size...

my point is, poeple do help each other, regardless of religions or beliefs.. some simply have it in their hearts to be kind... thnk God for them...

thank you for your compliments Peacemaker...
