Namaste'




Pronounced NamaSTAY.

Rainmaker from Musings of A Creek Dipper by Victoria Williams



I'm not sure how the song fits in but somehow it does in my mind.


I'm not tending to turn into a new age spiritualist in any big way but this greeting and all that it implies, makes perfect, beautiful sense to me.

  1. This is a gorgeous post filled with just the sentiments to start my day.

    For that I say thank you and Namaste!

    I like the way the video addresses duality and oneness, which I believe are essential to any good living.

    Without unity in ourselves, peace in ourselves - how can we expect it in our world?

    It must emanate outward.

    Om Shanti my friend.

  2. I was first introduced to the concept of Namaste by Rain at http://rainydaythought.blogspot.com/

    Your presentation here accentuates the beauty and power of that concept.

    Namaste...

  4. Really lovely, Pagan. Takes me back to my days as a struggling Buddhist and, even though I've re-found my Christianity now, it makes me realise what a beautiful philosophy Buddhism is. Reminds me of The Sermon On The Mount. I've had a bit of a tough day. This has helped a lot.

    Namaste to you and yours, my friend.

  5. By the way, Victoria's song is lovely too. I've never heard much of hers but I really like her voice.

  7. Fran, you said:Without unity in ourselves, peace in ourselves - how can we expect it in our world?

    So true and yet it took this long to learn such a simple lesson.

    It's nice to see you in the photo! I imagined you'd have a big, warm smile. :-)

    Winston: Hello, welcome and thank you! I left a comment on your blog. Hope to go by there again soon.

  10. I say "Namaste" frequently, but when you say it, there's such a deep light in your eyes...

    As ever, you're a catalyst for introspection and re-evaluation. There's always been something about you which made me look deeper into my own life.

    A Million "Thank-Yous," Gurrrl.

    Namaste.

  11. What a very nice thing to say, Broh. I do tend to look inward but for me, describing my journey is a very real challenge. I must content myself with images, music, thought and conversation. Alas.

    Namaste
