Greetings

The greetings can be both positive and negative. When I was little my niece Ineke Bartelink liked to say to me: ‘You must have my regards!’ and when I asked who she said smiling: ‘From Little Cock Rosewater’, what a joy she had.

When I call someone who has a visit from someone I know I always say hello to such a person and often I hear: 'greetings back'. I say then:’ How come back, should he not greet me, are they not welcome?!’

If you ask someone if he wants to do something for you and he says: 'greetings', then the party won't go on.

I received greetings from Elly from a woman I don't like at all and I let that woman know, I don't know what to do with it then.

Guiterman once said:How are you doing is a greeting, no question!’, how true and many don't think about that.

Ernst Marcus said: “The heart and mind are neighbors, they greet each other, they pay courtesy visits to each other, but they never become friends. As long as we're in our ego that's true, so for most of us, when we come to our Higher Self there will be a synthesis of feeling and mind, then you are congruent, or 'clear' as the Americans call it and you can greet happiness and prosperity, because then the law of attraction works for you.

I think the nicest postcards are those with ' greetings from…’, with some pictures of such a city or village on it, there are people who collect those postcards.

Tagore noted: "My last greeting is to those who know me in my imperfection and love me"
