Day 22

Today I came across these lovely illustrations of 11 untranslatable words from other cultures and I found myself wondering about how powerful language is. When we have a word we use it. When we don't, we struggle to effectively and eloquently communicate the meaning, gravity, and context of our thoughts, feelings, urges, behaviors or situations. What the word is for the feeling you get when you get the sense that things are going to change but you're just not sure how? What is the word for the space inside that transition point, the liminal space where things aren't coming or going but they are about to? The word for when you just trust that happiness is on the horizon?
