The Invisible People. Crimes against humanity called homelessness, mental illness, poverty. These three rob people of the secure landing spaces needed to by all humans to learn, develop their Selves, and thrive and contribute to humanity.
This trifecta is the robbery, the theft of humanity that undercuts and compromises the credibility of what society gains and progresses in.
When you help someone get into and stay in secure homefulness, medical treatment, and a boost into the middle class, you are actively growing the seeds of humanity and a society that transcends the material.
The big question we face now may not be so much, ”how do we house and treat and generously employ people,” but rather,
“What is missing, what is getting left out of the talent pool, the gifts, discoveries, big questions and small plodding work efforts that create real possibility for society?
“What have we lost, and cannot see is lost, out of the possible, that remains dormant, the seeds of what could have been, from our homeless, ill, and impoverished neighbors?”
