One of my favorite poets, Robert Frost, frames this occasion just right:
A Time to Talk
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it?'
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
And that just the way I feel about Texas Trifles.
Ya'll come by more often. I'll always meet you at the stone wall.
