Interesting people

There is a crew working in town, been here for a few months, out at one of the booster stations. They all come in to the store in the early mornings, usually in two or three groups. There is one man, however, that comes in alone, always. He is a Navajo,(I know that because I asked one of the other men what his name was, and he told me that he was Navajo) tall, muscular, long ponytail. I say "good morning" to him every morning, and he returns the greeting, and he gets a refill cup of coffee, every morning, nothing else. I tell him thank you, and have a great day, and he looks up from his coffee into my eyes and I see so much there, in his eyes and his slight smile.... He seems like someone I really would like to just sit and talk to...

There have always been people like that coming and going in my life. I have learned so much by just taking the time to talk to people, usually complete strangers. That is one reason I like my job... So many people....
I sense things about other people, and I can feel their emotions, so a lot of what I learn isn't even in words, maybe not even things that the person would want me to know, but it's there... I hate crowds, and for me a 'crowd" could be 3 or 4 people.... Crowds of emotions tend to be overwhelming.... But individual people have always fascinated me. Probably one of the reasons that I tend to let my guard down too easily... I need to work on getting to know people, and talking to people, but having a limit, a "back wall" that they can't penetrate, so I don't get too attached or overly trusting...

Maybe one of these days I will run into the Navajo man at a time when we can actually talk... I would love to learn what it is I am seeing in his eyes....
