Larry, This is a very interesting article! It's strange that we don't equate more things in life in terms of "types" of language. I have never been able to grasp foreign languages which is an annoyance and handicap in many ways. However, I love English, I have known musical language (and associated foreign languages) since before I was five and enjoy the Temple (still much to learn in that language). I love the "language" of history, peoples and cultures. If we understand one type of language, it seems logical that we should be able to find a way to learn other types of languages and not feel a "disconnect" and inabililty to grasp them. We somehow need to find the "keys" to those languages. It is certainly something to contemplate!

Thank you for this focus on temple language. Intriguing indeed. A whole new world.

Great article Larry! You are absolutely spot on. Funny, though, I went through the same process of piano failure, rock star guitar embarrassment, and Spanish frustration. But I love the temple and realities for which the symbols stand.
