Plant your dreams and watch them grow. "The Namaste Garden, even in its title, is symbolic of how I see life-Namaste, the divine reverence and recognition of all other 'beings' as the divine sacred oneness and the self in union, communion, and celebration. We are each a seed of birthing creative capacity in a full garden with other seeds of this full and vibrant potential ... and we are that garden in its fullness. As I wrote in Conversations with the Universe, the world is speaking to us, as us, all of the time. Why? To show us who we are ... all of who we are. Maria Triano's delightful book is to be celebrated as her unique genius and expression, flowering in the massive landscape of collective consciousness. We all encompass a garden within, as she says. And, as her example illustrates, we are each a beautiful radiant blossom here to gift the world its light and brilliance, in a way that is to be seen, inhaled, and honored. As you do so, your own garden will be nourished and begin to harvest the seeds of unique genius that nourish and blossom in the fields of all those awaiting your magnificence of your Namaste garden." -Simran Singh, publisher of 11:11 Magazine, host of 11:11 Talk Radio, author, humanitarian, and rebel For more information about The Namaste Garden, please send an e-mail to thenamastegarden@yahoo.com or visit www.balboapress.com.
