LIFE'S LITTLE WONDERS #2: IF MY HEART HAD EYES

in

I asked Ketut, the driver who accompanied me on my sightseeing tours, why the Balinese cover the lower parts of statues. He answered (in an acquired Australian accent):

Because they have a spirit. I have a spirit, I cover my body. They have a spirit too, why shouldn't they be covered like me?

There is a god in everything. There is a god in this statue. There is a god in this ant. There is a god in me. There is a god in you.

When I take a flower from this tree, for my offering, I take it and thank the tree for the flower. When I take a banana from a tree, I thank the tree for the banana.
