When the City Needs Compassion

A few days ago, during the deep freeze, I looked out the window and saw a homeless man warming himself over a sewer grate.

I prepared my wallet and a jar of peanut butter (I don't know, I thought it seemed comforting) to bring to him, but when I looked out the window a few minutes later, he had disappeared.  I kept checking periodically to see if he returned, but he didn't.  I hope he found someplace warm to stay.
