Possibly be picked up and later given some small snack or even a meal. But if I were to stand on the corner, arms outstretched, awaiting a caring embrace. I would be thought a loon. Perhaps escorted away by the authorities.I guess that's why I like working at the homeless shelter, because you know that the people there are the most deprived of care and compassion.
