hi, how are you?

I work at a bank.

Everyday, a million times a day, i say:

"Hi, how are you?!"

For some this signals them to approach me at my window. (My intended outcome) Others just stand and either look at me blankly, or seem fascinated by the drive through system. I don't really care how they are doing. And when they apporach my window and in fact try to explain their day to me, i make pleasant conversation, but try to keep it short. And therein lies the problem of our society, right?

I am more disturbed by the fact that "Hi how are you?" seems to mean nothing. Maybe I should try other phrases:

"Would you mind acknowledging me?"

"Hey, over here, buddy!"

"Who wants some CASH?"

"HELLO!!"

strange mood today by means of the morning meeting. apologies

Kell, Maybe you should just try yelling Next! That always seems to work.

I am on a journey, searching for God and what that means in my daily life. It's not about constraints, it's not about limitations, but freedom. I know something exists beyond the visible. I live thinking about possibilities and what could be and the necessary steps to make things happen. I like long talks with a good friend, drinking tea, eating breakfast with my husband, going to a bookstore (they are the new libraries), cool mornings, windy days in the fall, learning about love and life from those who seem to have found their way, teenagers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, long baths, and connecting with another heart. I am learning how to love, how to live, when to speak and when not to, when it's time to gather the stones, when it's time to let go, surrender, forgiveness, and discipline.
