Pennsylvania Station in New York City sees 650,000 people pass through it, and is home to one of the largest homeless populations, every day. A far cry from where we started where 6 total boarded for the trip to NYC.
Walking about, waiting for the train a Pink Floyd song came to mind.
On the Turning Away
“On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand”
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away”
So we passed out a few breakfasts to those taking shelter in the station amongst the Prada and Gucci passing by. Big cities are not our thing.
Tidbit: There was a Tim Horton’s in Penn Station! Those who have been following the blog know how much we love our Timmy’s.
