Where to from here? by Keep Passing the Open Windows:

I’ve just made some food for a man who is going around the neighbourhood and looking for odd jobs to do. As I watched him walk away I couldn’t help but wonder how the rest of his day will be. I am here, coddled and sheltered in my home, watching TV while I catch up on some work that I haven’t been able to get to with the kids here. I’m surrounded by the cats, enjoying my giant cup of pomegranate rooibos tea, and I’m quite content, despite the mundane and repetitive nature of the task at hand.

Where will he go?

Will he find a job today?

What will he do if he doesn’t?

Does he have somewhere to sleep tonight?

Where is his family?

How does he fix this hole that he is in?

If he got a permanent job today, would it make a difference?
