"A visionist is an artist, a creator or an individual that sees beyond what is visible to the eyes and brains of human beings. Visionists are thinkers, they are the recognisable brains in soociety, but most times they are seen as absurd, "nerds" and misfits – they just don't fit into the societies. They are people with great dreams and minds."

Why I Joined the Foreign Service
I refer you to a piece I wrote for American Diplomacy:
"...for accompanying a beloved aunt on her tours of Connecticut antique stores. This same aunt took me as a little kid on my first trip to New York's Chinatown."
Which aunt? Do I know her? omg, I am enjoying your blog so much!! I had no idea you were such a mensch! The last time I saw you, you were playing with those little toy soldiers you talked about. LOL!
I am a retired US Foreign Service Officer; former Executive Director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill, a Non-Governmental Organization; and currently a political analyst and governance subject matter expert for the US military under contract with a major US defense company. I have also done adjunct teachning in Political Science at Tidewater Community College, in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
