coining words. [good things]


when i was reading in azar nafisi's reading lolita in tehran and stumbled over the quote i posted last week about how she and her students explained to each other what the word upsilamba meant to them i strongly felt the urge to join in - i love inventing stuff and making stuff up in my mind. however, taking it as a noun is too narrow and to confined for me so i will just turn it into an adjective. 
so here goes:
an upsilambian feeling is that moment when your heart seems to burst out of mere joy, gladness and contentment when suddenly you feel that there is so much of said feeling inside you that you have to share it with everyone around you. you feel your upsilambianness radiate to those who are around you.
when lying in the grass, looking up to the trees and the deep blue sky, with the sun making its way through the branches now and then, it is difficult not to experience an upsilambian moment.
