The Visitor

During the 90s I belonged to a drum circle and we met in a local park. We were a community for 10 years and sometimes I still miss it. Yesterday we saw the new indie movie, "The Visitor". The movie is all about finding a sense of place even when a person feels doomed to dislocation. The title is an ambiguous reference to who among us is the real visitor. Richard Jenkins stars and it is one of the best films I've seen in a while. It features a lot of drum circles with a New York City backdrop and brought this visitor back to a real sense of place.
