"I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells.
I honour the place in you which is of love, truth, light, and peace.
When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me,
WE ARE ONE"
about a Japanese architect
who acquired a well-known building site for its spectacular view.
Everyone was excited to see how he incorporated it into the home he built.

, however,
they were baffled by the fact that the view was screened by foliage
--until they bent down to ceremonially cleanse their hands at a basin near the entrance.
Only when in a posture of humility
was the view visible.
Similarly,
wildflowers
are best viewed
from one's knees.
