I'd like to comment that my perspective on languages took on a radical shift recently. As some of you possibly know, my degree is in Linguistics - I have studied language a lot in my life and very much resonated with the idea that it is a "tragedy" when languages die out. While I still think that individual languages are fascinating and am enthralled with the possible different perspectives they can help us to perceive, my outlook on the *overall value* of having different languages was totally flipped recently when I heard an old African healer speaking on the idea that we are more divided by different languages than we are united - that all of these different languages we encounter worldwide could be considered another thread in a possible "divide and control" model, rather than something to be revered and treasured...an interesting perspective...as I said, I still find our multiple human languages fascinating - and I also really appreciated thinking about this alternative perspective... I also note that as I progress now on the path of learning more and more Spanish, I find that my attitude towards this task is subtley different than before this revelation - now it feels somehow more like "cracking a code" and less intimidating - I'm simply seeking to learn the Spanish equivalents for how I would say something in English, rather than feeling potentially overwhelmed by the possiblity of learning a whole new language and way of perceiving the world...it's a subtle difference, yet learning this next language feels like a simpler task in many ways now and I'm grateful for that too... ;)

All love and twisted tongues,
Angelalalaaaaaaaaaa. xxx
