For far too long, in our social and political dealings, we have consulted the same old leather-bound dictionary that was for the most part compiled in the aftermath of the Cold War. So accustomed have we become to using this weighty tome as our reference that we no longer feel the need to look up rudimentary words, taking it for granted that we already know well what they mean.

Sometimes, where you genetically or ethnically seem to fit in most is where you least belong. Sometimes you are at your loneliest among people who physically resemble you and seem to speak the same language. There are many citizens across the world today - and their number is growing - who have a hard time recognising their countries, walking like strangers in their own homelands.

I might never have developed the skill [of writing] were it not for a singular letter in the Turkish alphabet.
It was called the soft g - a 'g' with a little squiggle on top, like this: ğ. [...] It did not have a voice of its own. Every other letter made a distinctive sound, expressed itself loud and clear, except this one. The soft ğ did not talk. It did not complain or articulate opinions or demand anything

But now a strong wind is blowing in, turning the pages too fast. There is a burning candle next to the dictionary and before we realise it the wind tips it over.
