I love it here in Provincetown. How beautiful it is Sister sun, Brother moon, Mother sky. The light. The incredible light… This place at the very edge of the American continent, This natural refuge for outsiders and artists and rebels and queer folk like me.
As ever, I love your reflections, but may I please take issue with one of your comments about the Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers? "Carrying with them their disastrous life denying brand of Christianity which went on to infest the entire continent"
The descendants of the pilgrims fanned out in many directions, into communities preaching disastrous life denying brands of Christianity, but also into many liberal and life-affirming religious communities, including the original East Coast Unitarian, later UU, communities.
Sending love and blessings from this Unitarian in Sheffield xx
My goodness, jo, you blew me away with Losing Venice here. ‘Unclear/lost’ acts of plays are maybe never lost, they’re just waiting for their time of meaning to come…
AND - thank you for that wonderful quotation from your prophetic play :-)
I loved Provincetown too.
