Library of Babel - A Collaboration Part 13
Mamihlapinatapai - a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other will offer something that they both desire but are unwilling to suggest or offer themselves
Over 20 years ago I met a girl, for only 2 hours. We had a lot in common and She made a huge impression on me. I never asked her for her number. I kicked myself for a very long time. I couldn't find her. I proposed to my wife and figured I didn't want to screw up a perfectly good thing on what was a 2 hour meeting years before, so I decided to not pursue it. About 10 years ago I looked her up and followed her life from a breakup to marriage and 3 kids. our paths have never crossed again. I have a very happy life with a wife and family of my own and would not give that up for anything. Still, I follow this woman's life online. Why? I don't really know. Somehow it is comforting to know she ended up happy. I don't want to change the way things are or architect a 'chance meeting.' it is just comforting to know she is out there living her life and I am living my own. I don't regret the life I have, but I do wonder how different my life would have been had I had the courage to ask for her number. Not just her, but the limitless number of other inflexion points in my life that could have stemmed from a different action. IT IS A LITTLE SCARED BUT IT WAS GOOD I LIKED JACK IN THE SHOW AN HE WAS GOOD IN THE DOCTOR WHO TO HE PLAY HIS PART WELL LIKE HE WAS THAT PERSON AN HE PLAYED HIS PART GOOD IN THIS SHOW TO LIKE HE WAS THE PERSON PLAYING THAT PERSON .

Chapter 1 (She adored New York City) Bread Is Serious Business What's your favorite kind of bread? It walks just like a horse. Do you know what snow in Denver smells like? A good kick.

The next morning, she woke everyone up at 7am by sprinting up and down the hallway shouting, [redacted until the previous redactor realizes his error] and "Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo." But this is a hopelessly simplistic way of looking at it. While comprehension is paramount, it's hardly the only important thing. Letters, morphemes, logograms representing words.
