The Word of The Week
Well... not exactly a word of the week is it - more like a word of the month. I apologies profusely for my utter uselessness, I got swept up in a lovely holiday rush.
'Occhiolism' describes the awareness of the smallness of your perspective - reminding us of how tiny a part we play in this humongous world.
It's a bit of a tricky one to slip into casual conversation, I will admit, but a beautiful word none the less.
I found this word on this fabulous website called 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows' which I have used before for my words of the week actually. This is the link: http://www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/ if you want to have a look!
