Over and over, the dying and the lepers would whisper the mystical word namaste in my ear. We really donβt have a word like it in English (or even much of a Western conception of it). They explained to me that namaste means βI honor the Holy One who lives in you.β I knew I could see God in their eyes. Was it possible that I was becoming a Christian, that in my eyes they could catch a glimpse of the image of my Lover?
