Language

I spend a lot of time reading for my Master's study. And recently, I have been amazed at the wonder of language and writing. When the scope of what writing truly means captures my thoughts, I am struck by the power of simple things. In basic form, writing is merely a system of patterns to which we have ascribed meaning. Small marks, inscribed on paper, seem so insignificant. But with just 26 unique marks, the world is set on fire. With those letters grouped together to form words, the human mind begins to create. In various sequences and number, authors of many kinds have recorded thoughts for thousands to share. With words, simple in form, one person can capture and share thoughts and concepts. These miscellaneous markings paint pictures and images. The language as written can transmit knowledge and spark emotion. Lives are ruined and the course of history changed with phrases, books, articles, and essays. So much of life flows from that which has been written. All of this from 26 symbols which capture semi unique sounds. Now from this concept, imagine the songs and poems, stories and sonnets which will be possible in a perfect heaven with God's language. What worship and praise, what emotion and glory will be heard and seen. If this world is a dim and blurry image of what can be, should not language and its power share the same suppression. And thus in heaven, those who love to write, will have all eternity to explore the potential of a perfect language unhindered by our current restraints. How about that?
