My Failing Of This Man
This is a man I have tried to shelter off and on for years. Today he asked to leave the Houseless Movement house because he was afraid if he didn’t he’d kill someone. (He has gone to prison before for attempted murder, so he’s not exaggerating.) This is a man who has serious mental illness.…

Saturday, January 29, 2022 – Negative 7 Degrees.
I took this picture this morning. It’s of the Houseless Movement House and Garden. I love this picture because I think it makes people feel certain ways. It was -7 degrees when I took this picture. The outdoor shelters currently house 4 women and 5 men. There are more people pleading for a space. 2…

PRACTICING NON-JUDGMENT
I am now of the belief that this entire thing. This earth. This universe. It’s all a construct built for us each to individually practice becoming better. And better means finding understanding and compassion for all other things. The very first step in our practice is letting go of judging. Judgment is the creation of…

Do the right thing.
My friend Kenny Boldt always preaches to me that wisdom. I’ve never met an organization or system that fully stays true to that commitment. Just yesterday I was at the health department getting needles. I was trying to pull a fast one on them. You are allowed to use fake information. So this week I…

Tucker Carlson on Homelessness
Tucker Carlson just did a piece entitled: “The homeless crisis is a symptom of our society collapsing in real time.” He is a jerk. And I really wish that conservative Christians would not find comfort in his cruel and hateful words. But, if you can look past his basic mean-ness, there are some…

A picture of our little Houseless camp
Here’s a picture of two tents and two tiny houses on the Houseless Movement property. I just took this today. This is now the 6th winter I’ve either sheltered people on my land or supported camps hidden in the woods. Over the years my feelings about all this has evolved. When I first started my…

The third anniversary of the end of Akron’s tent city. January 6, 2019
January 6, 2019 was the final day of Akron’s tent city. It began on January 7, 2017 when the Metroparks kicked out a small group of people to make way for the Freedom Trail. Cruel destruction after cruel destruction. I’ve been thinking a lot about China’s destruction of Tibet and how the Dalai Lama and…

You Transformed Me On Christmas Eve Night
Here is a small sampling of the items people dropped off to me on Christmas Eve night when I and a couple friends slept out on the corner of West Market and Portage Path. What you did that night changed me. You imprinted upon me the realization of the ultimate truth of the world. That…

My Message From My Annual Christmas Eve Sleep Out in Support of Homeless Pregnant Moms
This is just under $1000 that was brought to me by people that came out on Christmas Eve night to say hello on my annual sleep out to raise awareness for homeless pregnant moms, just like Mary was when she gave birth to whom Christians believe was God himself. (If you think this money is…

My Thoughts On Terri Heckman’s Retirement as CEO of the Battered Women’s Shelter.
Terri has an article in the Akron Beacon Journal on her retirement entitled “‘How do you replace her?’ Terri Heckman retiring as leader of two victim agencies.” You will find that the Beacon often writes fluff pieces about corporate insiders. If the Beacon is still around when I die I guarantee their coverage will not…

Terri Heckman and Sage Lewis Discussion on December 18, 2017
This is an article the Beacon Journal did with Terri and me. I would often go along with things like this because people would chastise me for not working with the authorities and whatnot. But now I just believe these things were nothing more than a publicity stunt to make these people look like they…
