"You are more than my words could ever say..."
Language is definitely one of my major interests, thus, this talk about the often failure of language. Being semi-proficient in two languages I see this a lot. Those close to me know the frustration I feel at trying to communicate something and sometimes having the word be lost in translation. The more fluent I become (in Spanish) the more I see this happen. I don't know if it's the excitement of learning a new language or reality, but I feel like the English language falls short in many ways in trying to communicate certain senarioes. Thats right, I like Spanish better than English. Learning another language can really give one a cool perspective on worldview and just meaning. Saying all puts even more emphases on what Barth says about the failure of language in relation to talking about God. Right now... I'm having a problem communicating all my feelings because words are hard!!!!.... right. okay.... bye then.
