box of clarity

When i was 17 and homeless in Portland there was (and actually still is) an organization called yellow brick road that would come around to where the kids were and give out supplies. They would hand out items such as socks, toothpaste, band aids, etcetera.

I never really needed anything that they were handing out, but one night when they asked me what I really needed, I told them I needed clarity. So I forgot about this and went about my life. A few days later they came back and this guy had taken a small sized box and wrote "clarity" all over it with different kind sayings.

It really made a difference to me.
