Yeah, I know. I will get around to it. Your teacher isn't totally off, just a little bit of embellishment I guess. I tend to be literalistic. Namas is common verb in Sanskrit prayers and can even mean stretching out completely prostrate on the floor. Funny that it becomes a simple "Hello" in Hindi.

I am so glad that you enjoyed reading it. Also thanks for the clarification point re: namaste - my yoga teacher always used to say "The light within me salutes the light within you" as she bowed to us in prayer position. I will correct that for my blog! Can't wait to read your stuff (hint hint).

I don't know why I avoided reading it at first. Nicely done. Technical aside: literally namaste is "namas te" or "obeisance (I bow) to you" - the idea that someone submits them self to another person. Nothing to do with light.

So jarring in the best possible way. Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:29:25 +0000http://crasstalk.com/2011/03/crasstalk-fiction-eternity-by-chance/#IDComment134934637
