I lovee that this began as an assignment from your girlfriend. Such a tender love story, Mary and Molly. This line really struck me "With great reverence, Mary describes the pleasures of watching someone you love work." Thank you for taking the time to write about their love!

Was just in P-Town this past week, there is a new park area on the waterfront with a quote by Mary Oliver carved in granite at it's entrance. Mary and Molly were part of the wave of

LGBTQ artists who helped make Provincetown the gay mecca it became <3

Thanks for a great article!
