I’ve said this before on my blog, but I really enjoy watching people. They fascinate me. Maybe it’s why I’m a minister. Or maybe I’m a minister because of my fascination with people. I don’t know. I just know that I enjoy watching people. Especially when they don’t know they are being watched. (Great, that makes me sound like a stalker!)
I love sitting in a coffee shop and watching people waiting in line. Some looked bored. Others are lost in thought. Some check their phones, sending text messages to friends. Some look around but pretend they’re not.
I wonder what’s going on in their heads. Are they happy? Is life good? Or is their life full of stress. Are they standing there, trying to look brave, when what they really crave is someone to tell them that it’s going to be okay.
Do you watch people? If so, what do you find most interesting about them?
