From Madeleine L'Engle in "And It Was Good"
"A young reader knowing of my love of new words sent me a beautiful one: namasté: I salute the God within you.
"The words which have taught me most richly come in logical progression: ontology: the word about being; ousia: the essence of being, that which is really real; ananda (also sent me as a gift by a reader): that joy in existence without which the Universe will fall apart and collapse. And now, namasté."

I love the word "ananda". L'Engle used it in one of her "Wrinkle in Time" series books, I think it was the third one (drawing a blank on the title atm). :)
