Greeting

My parents are in India at the moment stalking tigers. They are greeted frequently by the phrase "Namaste". Apparently it means something along the lines of 'I worship that which is of God in you'. It seems quite a beautiful greeting. Although I don't believe in a God I do believe in Nature. I suppose by saying you recognise there is something holy and sacred in everyone, you recognise the need to preserve and protect and respect every living thing as holy. And I think that's nice.
