 I recently stopped to give a homeless person some money as I walked away this guy crouched in a doorway shouted after me my name's John so I went back and I crouched down next to John and apologized to him for not asking him his name told him my name shook his hand as I walked away I realized John was teaching me something and all of us something and that's this I think John was saying love just doesn't see your need love ask you your name love wants to know your name love wants to know who you are asking homeless people their name I think he's hugely important because it is a donation of dignity but a time in their life when they feel they have none some of you have maybe been there and I passed this on because as we enter this Christmas season if you engage with a homeless person don't forget to ask them their name and give them yours love you guys
