Does anyone sometimes marvel at the wonder that is language, after you have just said something completely normal? I often find myself thinking of the words I have said, imagining how they would sound if I did not know the language and just heard the sounds, not the meaning of them. I often find myself then rolling the words around in my head, until they words come apart in my head, and I have only the sounds left.

Isn't language truly a wondrous thing?
