Mamihlapinatapai
Noun. (Yaghan)
Day 25 assignment is to draw mamihlapinatapai. This is a Yaghan word...at first glance I thought it was a Hawaiian word with all those vowels :) So this is "a silent acknowledgement and understanding between two people, who are both wishing or thinking the same thing (and are both unwilling to initiate.
My interpretation of mamihlapinatapai involves a couple who have deep feelings for each other but neither can profess their love because they are both in committed relationships.
