In a local cafe today…
Today in my local cafe, two guys writing songs out loud to one another, about the just before Spring place in life, another set of friends, working on a new website, still another annotating old musical notation from Bach, still another older couple talking about the weather, and how the crawfish have come out early. There are students, professors, and long time locals, talking Willie Nelson and the new south. There are vets in the corner playing hard darts, and swapping war stories, there is a couple who do animation and run one of the local fest. There are the public television folks talking about what matters to cover locally. And a few new folks from California and Seattle considering bbq and music and where they meet. Nice local banquet conversation. Two priest from different denomination discussing local breweries and doing some needed research. A golf pro, a face book exec, a beer distributor, an award winning author or two hiding in the other corners, and me observing the whole in thanks. I love diversity. My african american friends just showed up—huge family, this could turn into an observational party soon. They are charismatic and bring a long table wherever they go. This could easily turn into a Kingdom party!
