hello strangers
I see this man running about 3 times a week when I walk from the bus stop to work. He is running toward the stop I am walking away from. I saw him for months and then one day he just started saying “hi” as he ran by. I do not know why I find this so surprising or why I like it so much. I am usually not one for greeting strangers, but now I return his. Just such a nice, simple thing.
