From Chris Corrigan via email a link to a great story of a homeless man who inherits money and gives $10,000 to the art gallery iin whose doorway he had long been allowed to crash.

It reminded me of an O Henry tale. It also speaks to my experience that society's less favored are more generous, proportionately, than the wealthy and powerful.
Kindness to others is generally its own reward, but I am glad the gallery owner got such a nice gift.

It is like an O Henry story or a fable. "Never turn a stranger from your door, for some are an angel sent to test us," that was wisdom in a gift economy. Today we are hosts, tomorrow sojourners.
