I commented on Nancy’s blog on Tuesday about handshakes (and other forms of greeting) by recounting a recent meeting where the attendees waved to each other.

Since then I have had a recurring image of the late poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen and his gesture of greeting and acknowledgement: palms together and a slight bow…. a simple, yet very meaningful, gesture.

We are all in the current health crisis together. Be mindful that, as we seek to protect ourselves individually, we are dependent on others, communally, to not put us in jeopardy.

May I suggest….Palms together with a slight bow and an acknowledgment of the others…
