Mary Pipher Quote
The English language contains the words poignant and bittersweet, but it is challenging to find other words to describe the complex emotional states we feel as we run out of time. Our inner experience is too complicated to label.Without language to express the nuances, we often resort to using single words to describe complicated feelings, but emotions frequently occur in combinations, such as sorrow and rage, anger and fear, or love, sadness, and bitterness all at the same time. We do not usually feel this or that, but rather, both this and that and three or four other emotions as well.
