Now you have to go back and say good-bye or be an unconscionably rude person- then after saying goodbye like a proper gentleman. you come back to wash your hands and- -yep, here yeu go again- - loved this poem! ! ! 10

Some of us don't even spend that much time in hand washing! I hope to interact with others in a way that makes a positive difference!

Many thanks, Muhammad. And yes, today's parting may just be tomorrow's pathway to the next greeting.

Such hands, perhaps, dare not say 'goodbye.' Many thanks, Mahtab.
