@manitou That's nice. I find that no matter who we talk to (physical appearance of clean or dirty) we tend to attract what we're looking for. In my case, I was really burned out from the physical world and was walking through a town at night. For some reason i felt the compulsion to sit by a homeless man, we talked for a bit about some useless things. It was rather surprising because the person seemed like a reflection of me at the time; hollow and shadowy, looking at the world as if it was his enemy and his only choice was to make the most of it by just pursuing sense pleasures. Except this person had gone past decades into that state, and seemed to have lost all will to move forward. After we chatted for a bit and I left, it didn't seem like a wake up call or a significant event of any sort, it just kind of happened.
