Invisibility

When in Georgia, one of the delegates asked a rhetorical question. "When you give food to a homeless man, do you help him?"
The answer we expected to offer - "Yes" - was rejected as incorrect. 
I was amazed. What did we do then?
The answer came back "you make him visible, the rest is simply extra!"
I had never thought of that cloak of invisibility than surrounds so many people - those selling Big Issue, those sleeping rough, those on life's margins.
This old lady selling her knitted wares at a roadside in Tibilisi, was, for most people an invisible person. This blip, by capturing her existence makes her visible.
I will never un-learn this lesson.
