Orientation is the moment after arrival when the old coordinates stop being useful. The surroundings are unfamiliar, but the deeper disorientation is internal: the person who entered this place is no longer quite the person who began the journey.
We often look for external markers to tell us where we stand. A map can locate the body. It cannot locate the self. Orientation considers the strange period after change, when the old identity no longer fits and the new one has not fully formed. You know where you are. You are still discovering who you are here.
