The Loss of Homeless Lives
The names
float like spores
on the brightening air. Light,
relieved of their pain, of their sorrows
of flesh, they sound on the tongue,
when spoken, like a song.
Their meanings, however,
escape us, as do their spirits,
barely known, re-crossing the river,
at home. Say them, now, slowly:
hear them rise and dissolve
in the freedom they wanted, alive

When a Home is not a House
The Art of Margaret Matson
Mesa Homeless Outreach Group
There are not words to express the many years of incredible kindness, support, belief in people offered in the long house of Chuck & Alison Allan Blitz. Their home offered a safe venue for outreach teams, shelter staff & other homeless services to meet, discuss & create plans for empowering street people to help them meet their needs. Lunch always provided, philanthropic needs often met, and a place of peace to allow our heads to gaze at the ocean, drink in the negative ions & reset so we could go out & do more. I know I speak on behalf of all the many who entered your doors in saying we remain truly grateful & humbled by your gift of love.
