"Hello."

"Hello."

"What do you think?"

"About what?"

"About all of this."

"I imagine it's a privilege."

"A privilege, you say?"

"Yes, what else could it be?"

"Well, isn't that a silly question. It could be many things."

"What kinds of things?"

"As many things as you can think. It could be a gift, a curse, a lesson."

"I don't see all those things."

"Wait your turn. It could be circumstance, or luck, something brand new."

"You think this is new?"

"Well, it's new to me. I suppose that's all that matters."

"What about the people before? Don't they count at all?"

"Of course they count. But what about right now?"

"I've seen it before, in pictures and books."

"But is it the same as this fresh look?"

"I suppose it's quite different, to use my own eyes."

"I certainly hope so."

"Now I'd better be off."

"Perhaps tomorrow we'll see something new again. What do you think?"

"We'll find out soon."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."
