Today, the group I grew up in would be called a cult. They would have told you they were the only ones going to heaven...I had different dreams: Libraries, streams, books and sunlight between them.
How poetic and involved a view of childhood! It is a thrill to see consequential meaning and properly place in a modern context old films from the not too distant past... We probably all have cults that may still secretly prevail and should lead us into psychoanalysis. We all look up to you.
Told without hate or resentment re an intolerant past. The madness of a cult. Very clear and the voice grows in strength as the narrative expands into clear insight.
I went to work at Christies (for a few days) and the New York Stock Exchange (for a few weeks.) I was 22 and got together five hundred dollars and drove all the way South. Lived in Mississippi, sleeping in someone else's car and then the couches of strangers. Lived in Mississippi for a year, working in the ER as a clerk, then Square Books. A totally different journey but.. perhaps, the same search.

This is such powerful material Kate. I think you’re right to keep retelling it in different ways. There are new insights in it every time.
