In German we have "Gruess Gott", in Swiss German it becomes "Gruezi", but the root is "Gruess Gott" and it means "Greeting God!". So whenever we meet somebody we express this wonderful truth of greeting God in the other!
Like NAMASTE.
We also use the French version of Adios "Adieu" "Ade" all having the same meaning. In Italy too we use "Addio".
May we all be more aware of the deep precious meaning of these words.
Gruess Gott, Addio!

Loving you, Margherita
