The Gentlemen of Baltimore, Kevin

Kevin

Another profile from The Gentlemen of Baltmore.

Kevin had a nice smile. He was a handsome man. He had been in prison for ten years and has been homeless since getting out, three years ago. He sometimes gets a bit of work in a restaurant and sleeps outside, alone. “Basically, I keep to myself. I just try to fit in amongst society.” We talked while standing in line to the free city Thanksgiving Day meal. He was anxious to get his dinner and wished me a happy holiday as he went inside.

With an undergraduate degree in Religion and Philosophy, complimented with graduate work in the History of Ideas, Doug has spent his life chasing some of life’s big questions. As a result he has delved deeply into wisdom traditions both ancient and modern, including the philosophical schools of Existentialism, Pragmatism, and Stoicism; he has also explored several of the Eastern traditions, principally Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Admittedly, he is no expert on anything, being a simple pilgrim.

I welcome your comments. Thanks for reading.
