I love your search for words. Seems like the right ones are not quite present when you need them. Maybe you could create a new language with all the beautiful words that exist in other languages and compose a new universal language? The flute sound is full of joy!

That's very sweet of you! Yes, the song I played is supposed to convey joy.

I really like meraki.

Personally, the closed notion I have is to be “subsumed”, meaning I’m so consumed with something I’m doing, making, feeling…that I become one with it or enveloped into it. But I use it in a good way, it’s usually a positive experience.

And then, of course as it’s done or I work through the thing or feeling, then we separate Back to our own entities.

There is less of a notion of tired, but still the notion that that thing is monopolizing and subsuming me at the moment, until I return back to my normal state.

I like subsumed! I do wonder how you would describe the experience of coming out of that, before going back to "normal."
