How a conversation starts
Good to see you. I used to teach while walking, because a question goes better with a little motion. We become just by doing just acts and brave by doing brave ones, so the small daily things are not small. What is the habit, the choice or the person on your mind?
An example. Once you share your name, the greeting uses it.
