The Feelings We Feel
Mamihlapinatapei
(Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego):
The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start.
Gosh! How many times have we had these moments?
In a public space. Shared glances between strangers in passing.
Perhaps the notion of a possible attraction between two friends
yet nothing being mentioned.
Albeit the word itself is not very attractive, but the intent of the meaning
is all to familiar an explanation of many a glances that are
riddled with many unsaid words.
