That post....your "musing" is just amazing. I love it. Me and my boyfriend are big kids...we sometimes go to the local bookstore to write our own stuff and end up play sword fighting with children in there..some parents tell their kids they have to go...but one in particular sat and read his book while we played with his son....we're both really no different than 12 year olds except for the fact we have to take care of certain responsibilities like the bills and what not. We bought your mini series "The Lost Boys" this past fall of '08 and we found it so hauntingly beautiful. We love "Finding Neverland" as well but more for it's playful atmosphere and heart than historical accuracy. There was something so haunting about your series that made us so "spaced out" afterward. Especially this one scene with Barrie thinking to himself while looking out a window...so....I dunno....I can't put it into words at the moment...we know how it feels to want so badly to be able to go outside and play with the "other kids".....we don't consider ourselves grown up. Some may consider us nutjobs....to that I just think some grow up and some don't. Some in my family..like my father (Ironically his name is George go figure ) think this means we're immature....but this is completely untrue....I know plenty of 12 year olds who act more mature than my dad LOL But we feel this ache to be able to play with other kids....but it's so easy for people to make up stuff these days...or easy for parents to stop it from continuing that we usually find ourselves fairly lonely on that front. We usually end up playing together...occasionally running across a random kid who comes up to join us. It's so sad how paranoid our society is now....because we would never harm a child...but rarely can we find people our age who act like us....Barrie is a mirror for us...and we love him dearly. I just wanted to say that. And we thought your mini series was beautiful! I know this is a response to an old message but hopefully at some point you will see this

2003 live action ALL THE WAY...BUT...I do think more Barrie-isms should have been included and I don't care for the Hook flying either. I love the fact that the Peter/Wendy love is shown more in depth..honestly I think i read in some of Barrie's notes stuff about boy and girl falling love and one where Wendy had some mark on her that meant she could return to Peter and what not..I love the ..well..love aspect that is shown more of in the movie. But I think the mother stuff shoulda been in there more and more er...brattiness hehe Though I think the love/mother stuff would creep some people out..some people just don't have half a brain cell to understand how that could work lol Peter doesn't know much but i think he feels much...though he won't admit it half the time lol Including in the '03 movie. But still it ends and you know he loves her. It's very sweet. Me and my boyfriend met through our mutual love of originally the movie...but also the book. I read the book after I saw the movie.

I've always wondered about this too! Me and my boyfriend (we call each other Peter & Wendy teehee) are writing a new show of Peter Pan...even though it's public domain here we're still going to donate to GOSH. We were wondering about the shadow...it's always...how shall I say...caffufled us? lol I like the soul idea...in which case what is the symbology of Wendy's sewing it back on? In a way could it be said she helped him get his soul back because she loved him? Hmm almost poetic yes? lol
