Namaste and good evening.

We often begin things and end things with bringing our palms together and saying namaste,

and yet never even created any context for that or naming of that.

I just wanted to share what it means to me.

That namaste in a literal way means I bow to the spirit or the light or the beauty or

the goodness that lives through you and me and this whole living universe.

So there's something in a pause and a bow that just is part of that remembrance of what's

living through us, which is very much the theme for tonight's talk.

But to begin with, to say, you've been here enough days that I would suspect for many,

you've pretty much sensed this range of the possibility of a quietness and, yeah, right

here, some sense of that arriving and ease or presence.

And then for most, also know what it's been like to be in what we've been called the forgetting

in that trance of completely that incessant interdialogue and the star of the show is

Moa, right?

You might remember this one of the guys in a bar talking to the bartender and he said,

you know, I know I'm nobody, but I'm all I can talk about or think about, you know.

And it is interesting when we start bringing the interdialogue above the line just how much

our world circles around what I want, what I'm afraid of, how I can be more comfortable.

And then of course we add that second arrow of, God, I'm so self-centered, you know.
