Definition: A deep-seated sense of connection to a place, often associated with a feeling of belonging.
It's not just about sadness or melancholy, but about realising what's truly important in life.
Cianalas:
Who would have thought
I’d have to come
so far from home
to find a word that perfectly
captures
the voiceless ache
of having left?
A’ dol dhachaigh:
Strange that I should
find restfulness
in a language where
you can never be home,
but only going
homewards.
