In church a couple sat ahead of us. They looked pretty trendy. He sported a hairdo that combed over in front and fluffed in back. The woman he was with was wearing a “wifebeater” tee-shirt and jeans. On one of her shoulders she sported a tribal tattoo running down towards her elbow. They struck me as children of this present age.
What caught my attention was the engagement ring. There was a noteworthy diamond sitting in a setting of ornate gold on the third finger of her left hand. At times she was distracted from the sermon and stared at it.
No matter how trendy we become there are some things that keep us grounded in the past. Like rocks in the river that waters flows around, there are some things that have such deep meaning, and are so symbolic that they can’t be dispensed of easily.
