attraversiamo
Eat, Pray, Love. It is simply a woman's story about a year in her life where she found some healing. The first portion of that year was spent in Italy. She spends time in Italy learning italian because it is a beautiful language. Her favorite word is attraversiamo. It means "let's cross over". People say it to each other when they are walking down the street. Attraversiamo. Let's go to that side instead. She likes the word because it sounds beautiful. I like the word for it's symbolism.
Imagine walking down the 'street' with someone you love and you want to go to the other side but it's just too much to do alone. Attraversiamo. Let's cross over...together. Or better yet. You want to cross over but you just don't have it within you to say it. The person you love and who loves you says it. Attraversiamo. They say it because they know you and they want to walk to the other side with you. It's beautiful isn't it?With love -yenny-
