tonight, i learned a new word and it's so beautiful, i have to share it.
mamihlapinatapai, a word from the yaghan language of tierra del fuego, chile.
the guinness book of world records regards it as the "most succint word" and is considered one of the most difficult words to translate. it means, "a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something that they both desire but which neither wants to begin."
oh heart of hearts! (sigh.)
