How Are You?

How are you?
Fine.

(I'm feeling sad today. The world is not as I would like it.
Death and destruction abound. I fear for people's souls.)


How are you?
Fine.

(I'm in love with God, with life.
My feet aren't touching the ground.)


How are you?
Fine.

(I'm lonely. I feel isolated.
I need to feel the touch of another in affirmation.)


How are you?
Fine.

(I'm bored. I need excitement. I want to dance, sparkle, laugh,
but it's three o'clock in the afternoon.)


How are you?
Fine.

(I don't feel like talking.
I'm in one of my solitary moods.)


How are you?
Do you really want to know?
