It's also a good reminder that not everyone processes language similarly.

I suppose someone who can't hear at all eventually processes language visually, but I can't imagine it easily. I "hear" it in my head, even when I'm reading it. <br /><br />I agree with your last point, too. To me, language is translation — at least largely.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-51193221433521249302010-10-29T02:35:43.490+13:002010-10-29T02:35:43.490+13:00ok so i particluarly like the last shot of the tre...ok so i particluarly like the last shot of the tree against the windswept sky<br /><br />OK - i think i put up a post about the inner voice a while ago - you know: when you read something you immediately sound it out in your head to make sense of it?

I'm glad my path doesn't remotely resemble what Frankl had to endure, but if I have to face it, I'm sure I'll find strength in his example.<br /><br />Kia ora Robb. Me too — something about being among mountains does that. Even if someone else has shared the moment, I've usually found words unnecessary; a nod, a look, or even nothing at all still seems more pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-13999588740813831912010-10-28T11:47:56.324+13:002010-10-28T11:47:56.324+13:00I find the meaning in a piece after I've finis...I find the meaning in a piece after I've finished it...and even then I know I'm only getting a small piece of it.beadbabe49https://www.blogger.com/profile/08270938730730250964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-12958974342724129202010-10-27T16:11:47.530+13:002010-10-27T16:11:47.530+13:00I read once "nature doesn't mean.

But I always wonder about other irrational human beliefs that are damaging, idiotic, held by the religious nut-jobs and the wildly anxious. And although the two seem like they must be different, I feelZhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14677243.post-8402832838271198852010-10-27T15:58:36.062+13:002010-10-27T15:58:36.062+13:00Kia ora Pete,
