Yes it must have been a good 6 years since I was in vancouver though I live 25km from it.

Being on a patio with cool people is fun.  I am just sitting in the sunshine, on the street in an area with tables. It is lovely truly. Wealth truly is fabulous. I dont think regular wealthy canadians appreciate how priviledged they truly are to hang out in cafe and on patios while east hastings is happening for hundreds of people. Every city on the west coast has a homless tent city problem. Coquitlam too.

Thank God for the few who get out of this destitution out of some miracle. Please Buddha, help the ones I have seen today: make their minds, though crazy by now from such extremes of sufferings, pleasant and at peace. Even laughing here and there to help them. This is more sufferings than I have EVER encountered. being homeless for me lasted a mere month and I had hubby's car to retreat too when in danger at night. I enjoyed it but strictly because it was very short and I never considered that would be my life forever. I also took no drugs nor alcool , not even cigarettes, while on the street.

Thank you God for your HUGE blessings on my life. And I complained 45 years about my fine parents who loved me all along! What a spoiled ignoramus I have been with You, Lord. Please forgive me and help the poor on east hastings, every day Lord. I dont ever want to think they are punished with current shit kamma for having been aweful in their previous lives. too easy then to accept the most obscene fact in canada: homelessness in such a rich country.
