During a three-minute conversation with a stranger (we were both waiting for carryout at a restaurant) a man guessed something personal about me … and he was right.

When I confirmed it, he grinned saying, “It bears witness.”

I wonder: what about you is evident?

Not by way of a t-shirt, a badge, a flag, or a bumper sticker — but in the language you use, the posture you hold, and the way you interact with others?

“People like us do things like this.”

Who are you, what do you do, and what do you believe?

Does it somehow bear witness?
