Since a couple people were wondering what it meant, and why I chose it, this blog explores the word from a Christian perspective:
“Namaste.”
We don’t have a word like it in the English language, and I suspect that this may be the cause of much of our hardship.
Roughly translated, it means “I honor the Holy One who lives in you.”
This phrase, I think, captures the essence of the love which Christ has shown us, and by his work on the cross, enabled us to express. It means looking into someone’s soul and recognizing that they are a creation of God — not only that, but also that they bear His image (per Gen 1:27).
Mind you, this was written the day after I chose my new journal title.
