Gracious Word: Agastopia

3/14/2014

 
Agastopia
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Agastopia

Definition: 
Agastopia; noun
1. Admiration of someone's body.  

Why I love this word:
In essence, it's checking someone out; admiring their features, taking in someone else's presence and enjoying their being in the room. Agastopia is looking--but no touching--and just taking in their body. Noticing the imperfections that make them perfect, noticing the curves of their soul protectors and noticing the body they have worked on and tried to take care of during their life.
