The Accidental Foreigner

I’ve spent a long time trying to get to the core of what I wanted to say….in print, on the web, in person…….. In person is so much easier - it’s in a conversation. A flow, even.

In print suggests that I already have a theme, a method, a known audience….and most importantly, it suggests that what I have to say is of value. But then again, the internet is awash in people with something to say.

But in reality, my theme is quite simple. What does in mean to be a foreigner and how can I maximize my full potential as a person who is co-existing in a world not native to me?
