When I was a little girl,I spent memorable holidays with my grandmother,who lived in a small village.She was a farmer with a stooped (彎曲的) back that made it seem like she was always leaning forward to examine something.Early in the morning,she would tie a cloth around her waist and set out to the farm.I would skip breathlessly alongside,trying to keep up.On our way,she would greet everyone we passed.
There was the standard greeting, "Did you wake up on the right foot this morning?" Then,the more personalized greetings.To Patriarch Kosi who sat under the mango tree,she would ask, "Are the grandchildren in good health?" To the Bean Stew Seller who was preparing to serve breakfast,she would inquire, "Are your boys well?"
Sometimes,the greetings were spoken soothingly (安慰地).When we walked past the widow,Dada Mawusi,many months after her husband's death,Grandmother would say directly, "How is your grieving?" She didn't like to beat around the bush. The greeting made more sense to her to acknowledge the woman's suffering,and in doing so,empathize (理解) with her.
The people that Grandmother greeted would respond similarly. "I see you have your granddaughter with you today.How is her father?" or "I see you have woken up before the cock's crow today.May it be a fruitful day at the farm." As a young girl,I thought these greetings were unnecessarily time-consuming.What I now realize is that the greetings increased a sense of belonging.My grandmother taught me that there is always time to greet someone before getting down to business.You can always take a few extra seconds to say a greeting to a person.We enrich our society when we acknowledge the unique presence of one another.
