The Jewel parking lot in Crystal Lake was full of messages the day I took the bumper stickers and window stickers you are seeing this week.
This one is a complete mystery to me.
It says,
namaste
with an accent mark on the “e.”
Anyone got a clue what it says?
And, look, the photograph seems to have caught my reflection.
No wonder the Prairie Grove School Board called the police.
Namaste: Ancient Sanskrit Blessing
I guess I have to read earlier in the morning. It’s no fun being second with the right answer. I can only add that Wikipedia has a decent, well illustrated explanation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste.
Its quickie summary:”Namasté or Namaskar – in Nepali and Hindi … is an Indian greeting or parting phrase as well as a gesture. Taken literally, it means “I bow to you”. The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): “to you” “
Thanks so much!
I was certainly clueless.
