sketch of a woman begging
(often those begging hold an icon of the Theotokos or Christ)

The other night I took Simeon to meet some of the guys in the street. As we got off the Tram across from Mc Donalds I noticed a guy without legs on the ground behind his wheel chair counting his income for the day, and a couple guys around him helping out. He seemed a little agitated when I heard him say, "am fost sârman dejeaba astazi", which means something like, "I was a poor begger all for nothing today". God have mercy on us.
