Dear Liz,
I liked your post. You are as I saw a very acute person....and funny, as
wel, so the best quality of all for a human being...
I do have an accent, I know ita nd I try to enphasize it. It makes me feel
happy, but notbecause I belong to a given territory, but because I can see
I ca hear I learned a music, a cadence, a rhythm, so I learned a way of
being....
This is what I like in y own accent as wellas in those of other
Italians/Italics, a beautiful rich land of intelligent, attractive people ,
which I love but I do not wish to share my life with anymore, simply for
idelolocal/political reasons.
Ciao, fronm the land of the expatriate and the alienated.
(say, England of the emigrants)
