Episode Synopsis

Lessons from Raymond, the homeless man Who helped prepare me for the road.To view previous lessons, find my playlist entitled: Raymond Lessons.Lesson 11: All Day LongI almost didn’t mention this oneBecause it contradicts Something else That Raymond said.But it has become applicable.You see, I was skeptical When he impliedThat everything came to him without asking.Sometimes, maybe. But always?And so I asked Raymond,Do you ever have to panhandleTo get the things you need?“Yes,” he said.“How much?” I asked.“All day,” he said. “Every day.”“Oh…” I said. And I didn’t like that answer.Because now it appeared that our good fortuneWas a special providence, and thatI would not be able to escape The work of asking.
