Reading this story was like hearing a song I learned as a child. I am a storyteller, but I live in a condo in a city where brevity and "get-to-the-point" is almost a disease. Still, I tell stories, jokes and now write poetry - All in an attempt to sing that forgotten song to someone who will remember it.
Beautifully written, that umbilical chord that ties us to the home we miss in its various secular and spiritual forms. Our inner longing for Christ and creator that is explained so well here.
Loved how you deftly crafted the parallel between heart language and the language of faith here, Chine. The forgetting and the calling of the translator really resonated with me — thank you!
I loved your post. It brought clarity and a layering I had never thought of. Thank you.
So much of this essay helped me articulate bottled up thoughts and emotions proper of my immigrant and TCK experiences. Thank you ♥️

So very beautiful -- TY.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for identifying "heart" language as more than what one learns to speak from birth.
WOW— this was… wow. This was so moving, thank you.
Really enjoyed your thoughts. If , too, could but speak what is so close to coming forth. Thanks
LOVE!
Beautifully written. I feel a similar call to write in a language that speaks to the soul. Thank you for sharing!
