Flying—or the Story of a Young Trapeze Artist
The Rev. Dr. Jeanne Foster
A childhood experience growing up in New Orleans is the occasion for a reflection on what it means to be daring and what it means to have as a safety net below us the “interdependent web of all existence” which Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote.
Jeanne Foster grew up in New Orleans and went to undergraduate school at Newcomb College, Tulane University. She is currently Professor of English Literature and Creative Writing at Saint Mary’s College of California in the San Francisco Bay area, as well as being a published poet. Her passions are ballroom dancing and Tuscany and, in particular, ballroom dancing in Tuscany.
