Colorful tattoos.
And in the parking lot as he was
Putting his groceries in the
Trunk, I stopped to ask him about
The bold designs.
"I'm a 'dead head,'" he said.
And he educated me about the
Musical group, "The Grateful Dead."
Each tattoo was related to the
Group.
I was fascinated.
My knowledge of rock groups is
Zilch.
(But I did tell him I'm "into" worship
Music.)
Since the man was also a musician,
He showed me a picture of his
"Babies," his stringed instruments.
He and his son-in-law also create
Cigar box guitars.
"They have a great sound if you find
Just the right sweet spot."
The man talked on and on, but I
Needed to get my groceries home.
Since the friendly decorated fellow gave
Me his business card, I reciprocated by
Giving him a bracelet.
When I explained the colored beads, he
Was pleased.
The music man and I enjoyed our
Discussion of topics close to our
Hearts.
And when it comes to piquing his
Interest in spiritual matters, our
Encounter was a good start.
