In a natural reflex, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I dont want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done.

Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza deliver
