Vortrag Liam-12

Reading bits from Paralian during yet another successful book presentation in Dusseldorf last Friday. A big thank you to BCG for giving me the opportunity! I love presenting and treasure direct contact to my readers. First London, then San Francisco, now Dusseldorf… next up is a keynote speech at a book meet in Southampton on Sept 4^th.

Here is a little artwork from a few years back. I had lots of water on my mind back then. Based largely on many years spent in the ocean in the Maldives, as well as working underwater at 'The House of Dancing Water' show in Macau. I didn't like Macau much. I loved my work, but I didn't fully understand where I belonged. When I left after four years, I thought I'd never come back. Then, five years later, I did come back and surprised myself with how comfortable I felt in this quirky little casino town the second time around.  Looking back, I can only guess that, when I first arrived, there was too much turbulence around and inside of me. It was hard to see the ocean for the waves. With time and distance came perspective and, amazingly, maturity.  So, here I am again, immersing myself once more in the unique expat life of Macau... and treasuring every minute of it. Backstage, I have found where I belong. I understand myself as well as the nature of the waves around me so much better now. I am glad and grateful I came back. I feel home. #perspective #lifejourney #liamklenk #paralian #expatlife #notjusttrans #personalgrowth #understanding #waves #ocean #authorsofinstagram #amwriting

Flashback to 2016, the year Paralian was first published. Writing this book was one of the best things I've ever done, even though letting myself be seen to such an extent was also terrifying. Over the last year, life has been so turbulent, I wasn't able to focus on anything at all. But, I will keep on writing and will always be the quiet yet gently persistent voice in the background promoting mutual respect, love, compassion, inclusion, no labels, and the basic human right of freedom for us all to be the unique individuals we were born to be. Diversity is a precious gift and privilege, not a threat. #liamklenk #lifejourney #notjusttrans #paralian #love #compassion #mutualrespect #LGBTQI #nolabels #diversity #authorsofinstagram #amwriting (photograph courtesy of Literally PR)

At the divecenter. While everyone is getting ready to head out into the big blue, Lucy has found a safe spot from which to watch the hustle and bustle. #travel #scubadiving #lembongan #authorsofinstagram #liamklenk #lifejourney #paralian #ocean

A quiet evening for the local seafarers... #paralian #liamklenk #lifejourney #authorsofinstagram #travel #ocean #lembongan
