A young girl spends the day walking her neighborhood, greeting people with "Namaste" while explaining its various meanings. "Namaste is loving the world" and "Namaste is saying you matter." After returning home, she accidentally breaks the pot her new flower is in and uses "Namaste" to express her emotions about it. The story ends with her giving the repotted flower to a neighbor, because "Namaste is the divine in me honoring the divine in you."
