He claimed he could look into our eyes and forage for hidden secrets within our minds.
‘Prove it’ we’d say. He’d shake his head, smile an inscrutable smile and say ‘don’t worry I’ll keep it to myself’.
We didn’t know what to make of him.

Now I am curious about Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt and will have to check that out too!
Thank you! I’m a fairly recent convert myself!
No doubt he’d want to keep his “readings” to himself, since most people upon hearing such a claim are apt to think some rather uncharitable thoughts about him. 😉
Too right Christine!

Good one Keith.
Thanks Sadje.
You’re welcome 👍

Most of the time Iain! Thanks so much.

Shalom,
Rochelle
