It was several years ago and I was working on a documentary that would eventually be called, “There But For The Grace of God…”, trying to understand the epidemic of homelessness that had gripped Seattle and so many other places.
I was wandering the streets of Seattle with my cameraman Doug, going to the places where broken people sought refuge. I walked into a men’s shelter called Lazarus Day Center, run by Catholic Community Services. I don’t know what I was looking for. I just wanted to talk to somebody and learn.
