Turning to the Next Chapter

Turning to the Next Chapter Published by Rianne Pocsidio Published on January 30, 2025 Have you ever had a dream you wanted to chase after? Perhaps, it’s a dream that gave you an epiphany for a life greater than your current aspirations. Or, perhaps, it’s a dream to discover a whole new world greater than the life you currently live.

Perhaps, like me, you grew up speaking a language known all around the world. Or perhaps, you grew up speaking a unique dialect. The reality is that, with the hundreds upon hundreds of existing languages and dialects, will we ever reach a common unifying way of understanding one another?  Let me introduce you to the Language of the World, which the novel the Alchemist defines as the mutual understanding of people to each other, the world around us, and the circumstances in which they will encounter through interactions, omens, signs, or simply a series or chain of events. The fascinating part of the Language of the World is that it needs no mutual fluency of a verbal or written language, but rather, it is the language that the soul and heart understands .
