I love the word mamihlapinatapai….the meaning is quite beautiful, it means .. that moment or feeling where two people both want to initiate something, but neither wants to be the one to start it. it could be two tribal leaders both wanting to make peace, but neither wanting to be the one to begin it. or it could be
two people wanting to approach each other, but neither quite brave enough to make the first move. (Life In A Day)
