Namaste

In Living, Loving, and Learning, Leo Buscaglia writes:

“In India, every time you meet or say goodbye to somebody you put your hands in front of you and say ‘Namaste.’ That means, ‘I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you where, if you are at the place in you, and I am at the place in me, there is only one of us.’”

I always felt the foregoing passage to mean:

“I value you for your goodness, and because of you, my life has become more valuable.”
"That you exist makes my existence worthwhile and special."

Jack Nicholson mouths Mike Nichols' words in "As Good as it Gets": "You make me want to be a better man." Sounds good too, if not more poetic and romantic.

Namaste.
