Sage, Author at Sage Lewis - The Shadow

I now believe that religion is nothing more than a tool. It is a tool to help guide your life. A religion is a tool that helps you connect ever so slightly with the “All”. I believe in nearly everything: heaven, hell, reincarnation, nothing, afterlife. It’s all true. And because it’s all true, none of…

(Use the hashtag #pitcount and take pictures of the new friends you meet during this count. People getting to spend a little time with homeless people is probably the best and most important part of this otherwise absurd exercise. I’d LOVE to see your pictures.) HUD requires that the Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) count be held…

The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count is Complete and Total Bullshit!

If ever there was a more appropriate use of the word “bullshit” in describing something I’ve never seen it. The HUD mandated homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) count is complete and total bullshit. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to complete the count in order to receive federal funding for homeless programs. Some…

There is a very clear thread that runs through the work of the 3 of us. If you aren’t familiar, Dorothy Day founded the Catholic Workers Movement. She, among other things, created “houses of hospitality” and then a series of farms for people to live together on communes. These were created for the homeless and…

I was driving a man across town to a friend’s house. He had stayed at our tent village for a time. But I didn’t recall him very clearly. He is deep in the throws of a hard core Fentanyl addiction. Fentanyl is 50 times more addictive than heroin and 100 times more addictive than morphine.…

(They also told her that we are NOT allowed to say the mayor needs to open warming centers. So check your freedom of…

Knight Foundation gave Akron $104,000 to create new Office of Integrated Development. I’m pretty sure what we mostly got for that money was this shiny 61 page full color brochure. I have a copy of the printed version. It’s fancy. From this article, our mayor, Dan Horrigan writes: Vision-driven, community-focused development is not just the…
