Abstract
Taking the ontological position that we are storied beings, living storied lives, I tell the story of my visit to border country, a metaphorical place of transformation and opportunity. In an autoethnographical exploration of narrative identity, I use the metaphors of the border country and changing track, in varying turns, a place removed, on the edge, exposed, liminal, transitional, exclusionary, or a place of opportunity, to read the compass, re-direct, re-centre, and re-story. This is a reflexive journey where I am open to being, and am, surprised by the stories told and what the stories tell me.
