The Serbian word “Merak” is defined as a feeling of bliss and the sense of oneness with the universe that comes from the simplest of pleasures. It is the pursuit of small, daily pleasures that all add up to a great sense of happiness and fulfillment.

It’s listed as one of the untranslatable words of the world. I found a list of them while looking for topics online. I may have to explore a few others as well. 😉

Oh, how I wish it had an English version. Maybe we should just show solidarity and start to use it anyway. I feel it in my heart, regardless of whether it translates or not!

Indescribable or at least untranslatable they say. But I can relate having an affinity with nature and through that, bliss. 🙂 I needed a bit of grounding from covering headlines! 🙂
