Finding Shelter in Vancouver, BC
I arrive in Vancouver late at night and lie down in the doorway of an affluent downtown apartment block. The rain is coming down in sheets. I don't have a sleeping bag or roll mat because I gave them away to a woman in Surrey who needed them more than I did.
I can manage without the sleeping bag, but laying on concrete without a roll mat is a problem. The cold earth drains any warmth from the body almost immediately -- you can really feel the energy move out of yourself and into the ground. It's also a great way to get hemorrhoids. For addicts too scattered to look after themselves, resting like this must just add to their exhaustion.
I get a few uneasy hours of sleep before the front door of the apartment block opens, and a woman steps over me out onto the street. Surprisingly she apologizes to me. I want to explain myself but anything I say huddled in the fetal position would sound ridiculous. Instead I pretend it isn't happening.
