I Saw and Spoke With God

Yesterday while riding home from work in the early evening I met and had a chance to speak with God. He was ahead of me on Diamond Street in Pacific Beach heading down the hill on a beat-up cruiser bike. I first saw him in front of me zig-zagging back and forth across the road the way all bicylists do when there are no cars and they don't think anyone is looking. Its an instinctual behavior that first happens when you're about 4 years old and on your first bike. God was in his early 30's, deeply tanned with his wetsuit on up to his waist, unzipped and dangling above it. He had a small goatee and was carrying a beat-up fishtail surfboard under his right arm. I rode up beside him and said, "I just want you to know that I want to be you when I grow up". I had surprised him but, as you might expect from God, he had a good reply; "Steady now ....", he said. Made sense to me and I had to turn right up Dawes to get to Loring -- Hope he caught a few good waves. J
