always loving bizarre languages ... or any languages at all...
(By the way -- long before John's Logos, and even before the Babel, came the
oral traditions of Bereshit -- Genesis -- Wherein Adonai simply says "light"
and "light is" .... much of Jewish tradition places enormous emphasis on
not just the word, but the letter, teaches that the words of Torah existed
before the existence of our world, that the Creation was built upon the very
letters of Torah, and then of course there's gematria. I'll look up a quote
of Heschel's that might interest you, John, tomorrow sometime).
