"Begging is hard. It's something you expect hungry dogs to do, but not men and women made in Gods image. The minute you put out your hand, or open your guitar case, it feels like you are writing 'failure' and 'weakness' all over yourself and telling everyone who comes by, 'I am unable'. The message blares up and down sidewalks, and across multi-lanes of traffic. And the message doesn't stop screaming until you pull your hand back in or close up your case."
Quote from Mike Yankoski - who chose to spend 5 months as a homeless man. Documented in his book 'Under the Overpass'
