The Lattice of Beauty


I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides,
I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace.
I honor the place within you, where, if you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.

- Ram Dass, translation of 'Namaste'

  1. Certainly beats "hello" and "good morning" as far as greetings go. Even though It's probably the most recogizable Hindi expression I don't thing that the vast majority of people appreciate the depth of it's meaning...I know I didn't.I suppose It's because there isn't a widely used greeting in English that's this profound. Because of our frames of reference our idea of a "greeting" can't hold a concept as wide as this. It's easier for us to get our heads around a more superficial translation.

    Lateralus...nice way to start my Sunday. Wasn't aware of the use of the Fibonacci sequence in the song.

    Namaste
