What's The Word?

In her book Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert talked about cities and people having a single word that describes them. It might be Adapt. Or Love. Food. Sex (Rome, in case you were wondering). Gilbert settles on the Italian word "Antevasin," meaning "one who lives at the border."

Any nominations? I'll self-reflect a while.

"So for today, I am satisfied with this word: antevasin. Simply, spiritual seeking needs no explanation does it? Yet, it’s nice to have company on the journey.

Namaste."
