"....language is a translation of a translation of an experience that originated solely as directly-experienced nonverbal sensory input, and thus it is difficult to discuss in words what naturally exists in people without words."
I read this in a work-related article today and when I had got over the long words, I realised that it is true. It is sometimes hard to explain our thoughts and experiences even to ourselves, let alone out loud. It is reassuring to know that this difficulty is not because of a flaw in us, but it because we are trying to express a different language. Anyway, according to the article, the answer is photography. Expect to see more photographic expression of finding God in our lives appearing here soon.....
