I can’t speak my birth language anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tbilisi is asleep when we land. My plane bounces onto the runway just after 4am. The world outside is still and dark.By the time I make it through customs, find a taxi driver, and check into my hotel, dawn is breaking in my hotel window.Outside, a massive golden statue of St. George stands triumphantly in Freedom Square. He reflects the first rays of pink morning light, eternally victorious as he slays an equally golden dragon.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcd
