I experience it often enough threefold. In translation much could get lost. It might occur due to the lack of words or to the lack of proper translation. This does not necessarily mean that something lost must be a loss. At times it will provoke, inspire and bring about new creations. But I did observe a scene that seemed to me to be a loss in being lost – lost beings drinking coffee. It appeared to be the joint satisfaction in being bored.
Lost within one Tongue
The couple sat without much words to get lost with. I did not see his face during my observation, but she acted as if filled with the very least amount of excitement. Her eyes wondered about the room as if feeling misplaced, either waiting for something to happen or the opportunity to leave. It could have been resignation towards the apparent relationship as well.
At times we lose ourselves without leaving our very own realm of understanding. At times, once lost, we do not try to find ourselves again.
