First sentence: I am a pilgrim: I go where my Lord leads me. More modestly, most days, I consider myself an immigrant. That is the reason why I am especially sensitive to place, my geographic place and my place in society-my polis. Unlike indigenous people (have there ever been such people? Are we not all and always migrants?), I have since childhood been blessed and cursed with the need to move from one society to the next. One day I landed in Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA, and I set roots here.
