Timotheose - A son in the Faith

Well, last night Gio and I went to an AA meeting about 10 blocks from DTES in Yaletown

Known to many as Vancouver’s little Soho, Yaletown has experienced a revival in the past several years to emerge as downtown’s trendiest residential neighbourhood for urban professionals. Impeccably hip, Yaletown is brimming with quality restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. It is a neighbourhood to see-and-be-seen.

and I couldn't help but notice the HUGE gulf of wealth and affluence between the two districts. It was like I stepped onto another planet.





It was amazing what 10 city blocks can do to a persons prospects. My attitude is becoming a bit 'jaded' and as I sat in the meeting I found myself criticizing and characterizing those in attendance as 'rich' and 'uncaring'. And though there is a certain truth inherent to my internal character assassinations I had to ask for forgiveness and we walked back home.
