Finding Awe: Books, Letters, and Words

Letters. Symbols with meaning. How could something so seemingly insignificant, such as ink on paper, or letters inside of a box of text, be such a big part of our life?

The written english language can be a seemingly impossible to read cipher, depending on what languages you know. Yet knowing the language unlocks the vast information and emotion found in the words. Books can contain emotions and beauty, without you physically needing to see anything but letters on pages. Whole worlds can be created in our minds with the power of words. And to think that we tend overlook these symbols which are so vital is surprising. Words, letters, and books are amazing things filled with the power to change the world.
