Like many of the young writers in my classes, I wonder where to start. I struggle with reflecting in enough depth about the experience that was Fulbright Finland's orientation. I come to terms with the actuality that whatever I write will do and that my readers are genuinely more interested in this Fulbright experience than in my overthought composition of the adventure. So here goes... During the orientation (January 23-25), I was confronted by the warmth of the Finnish Fulbright staff, the...

I have a fear of falling. It’s not age-related. I just don’t like to fall. It often hurts. During hunting season I’m especially careful. The ground is uneven if not steep, the footing precarious.
