Salutations


Hi, how are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Keep moving. Don't stop. 
I know we are just being polite.

Connecting in a way of non connection. 
Treading the path of least resistance, together.

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I don't want to hear about 
your divorce, 
how you beat cancer, 
or your teenager with a drug problem.

And, be honest, 
you 
don't want to hear about mine.

So, why oh why, do we ask?

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm fine.

When we really mean . . .

Greetings fellow traveler, 
in this lovely day the Universe has delivered, 
I'm doing the best I can with what I have, 
and I hope the same is true for you.


Hi, how are you?

I'm fine.

How are you?

I'm fine.
