Buenas
dias!
(I
mean you no harm)
-
buenos dias!
(nor
I you)
In
our broken
seven
billion
intentional
harm
is
less frequent
than
you’d expect
wars
famine
plague
are
not normal
everything
alive
would
like to survive
we
are
the
many
perhaps
the most
of
us
held
within
the arms
of
our better angels
Cuidado
(be careful)
y no tengas miedo
(and have no fear)
Buenos días…
-
buenos
días.

(It is striking how many strangers, when passing one another on the narrow sidewalks of Guanajuato, greet one another. Usually, though not always, with a smile, sometimes with surprise. If you offer a greeting, it's returned.)
