At least enough for basic conversations :)<BR/><BR/>I like that visual of peace (though I still think for kids it's a bit abstract) how you can be surrounded by a storm and calm. That's what I want in life, calm.Victoryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256314171695734487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770354865100906374.post-69639802257525220762007-06-28T06:32:00.000-04:002007-06-28T06:32:00.000-04:00No!

English's not my first language, so I can find SUCH interesting info here.<BR/><BR/>You're right about everything. I can only say that from my own experience here, if I don't have this blogging community and if I don't have my other emailpals to "talk to" in English, I think I'll explode. My Finnish isn't good enough to carry on daily conversations about anything. Before I started blogging, I felt that my world had shrunk to just me and my husband and my close friends. Now it's expanding again and it feels REALLY good to be able to voice what I have inside me. Otherwise I'd feel SO stuck he he he...<BR/><BR/>Now I'm rambling. Peace...what do I think when I hear that word? Hmmm...A dove indeed hi hi hi...what else? Hmmm...I can't really think of anything, but I like something I once read. A king gave a contest to produce paintings that depict peace. The winner was the picture of a mighty storm in the sea with a small image of a bird (eagle or something) sitting securely and peacefully in its nest with its little ones. <BR/><BR/>So I guess I like that kind of depiction of peace. Peace doesn't always mean that there're no storms around you. Wait a minute! I think I like to think of peace as an image of someone praying while kneeling down as he/she lets God's peace wash over him/her, even amidst his/her worries and problems. <BR/><BR/>OK I think that's too long. Btw, Vic, I never asked people's permissions to link their blogs with mine, so no worries he he he...Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770354865100906374.post-5239690168297313672007-06-27T09:54:00.000-04:002007-06-27T09:54:00.000-04:00It would be an honor shrink!

You have completley nailed it. The power of language, and how you use it, detemines so much of our commonly held, every day perceptions. Why have I never thought about that?<BR/><BR/>Now you've gone and made my brain bleed.. I need to go away and digest, methinks! Brilliant, thought-provoking post.
