HOW IT STARTED WITH JOHN MAYER
THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S is happening in art and reality (like Banksy) which playfully began with John Mayer before I knew him. As a young, extraordinarily successful musician singer-songwriter and a wild sense of humor, especially with the press, John was also a bringer-together of music and musicians and performers no matter what arbitrary category. He was passionate about technical blues to the power of popular culture and was accepting of it all, friends with a young Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Demi Lovato, while also bringing down heaven playing with Eric Clapton and B. B. King. He saw bigger things for the expansive movement of music. Some even thought it odd for a musician of his masterful talent to have a romantic relationship with a pop and reality show star (with an incredible voice), Jessica Simpson, or beloved actress Jennifer Aniston. To some it was two different worlds. In this artistic way, he was a Hermes crosser-of-boundaries to break something more accepting and wonderful open and value the humans involved.

Introducing the World Premiere of the Independent Western, Road to El Paso (2007)
Twenty years ago, upon leaving teaching college literature, including teaching Willa Cather in Southwestern Literature, the trickster in Folklore, and even Classical Literature at Rio Grande College on the Texas/Mexico border, I set out to make an independent feature film with my dad, a singer, rancher, minister, artist, engraver, and inspired, wonderful workshop inventor, and my beautiful brother, an accomplished guitarist and singer-songwriter. I had been writing movie screenplays since high school days from my love of old films, but this one was because my dad loved westerns, and was also loosely based on Marty Robbins' song "El Paso City" that my dad would sing so beautifully. We worked on it from 2005, producing it ourselves across Texas and New Mexico, from the missions in San Antonio all the way to Santa Fe and filming wild horses. It felt special, but it would take me these 20 years to understand the actual path it had taken beyond the premiere we threw it, instead phenomenally running parallel to events much larger than what any of us foresaw. Willa Cather's inspiration of her archbishop in her Death Comes for the Archbishop was in real life ordained in Cincinnati in 1850, where my dad was born. That's the very year and city my dad's ancestors arrived to from Bohemia. In that line of jewelers and three ministers--great-grandfather, grandfather, and father--my dad was born to this twin minister, just as from the moment Willa photographed herself in 1925/26, exactly 100 years ago, at the cathedral basilica in Santa Fe with her twin nieces born from the same time as my twin grandfather. The unfolding events from there follow closely Willa's story of her inspired re-rooting of culture, art, and religion in the American Southwest. Road to El Paso was then us actually documenting a major part of the archbishop's trip from San Antonio to El Paso, and then the Jornada del Muerto, "Journey of the Dead Man," to Santa Fe, with my dad a man who deeply loved the Bible.

Author Lewis Hyde in his book [Trickster Makes This World] shows how the divine trickster’s creations become prophetic; this happens in how they are created. That’s how the Sistine Ceiling has worked from Michelangelo, and his Pietá. It looks like it is made about the past, but suddenly it’s coming true now, and forever true.
Eternal truth is a gorgeous, gorgeous thing.
That’s part of the miracle of THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, that it is a visible coming together in answering the prophetic of the art, the artists born to it, born to open up the barriers barred of consciousness, like Banksy, disallowed in a wonderful sense of play.
Audrey Hepburn had to take that liberty. She knew she had to.
Willa Cather did it in her own works and left the Hermes signs of it as the “road markers” showing the path she had taken in breaking open art to divine reality. You can find it in her works and in her photographs and careful letters. Otherwise, what she was doing was “forbidden” and artist and female writers “can’t go there”—the divine art of their own Beingness showing each other, touching eternity because they could see it.
Audrey followed her own spirit, deep intuition, and her natural-born effervescent joy and sprite energy and purposefully opened back open a creative pathway, born and shaped by cosmic circumstances to it, and thus also with her spirit making the work she created come true again in alive and numinous ways, and then it can be seen that it remains eternally true and fits right in to a perfect cosmic design with what is happening right this moment to bring about a magnificent breaking through of a different plane—PUREST LOVE—for humanity.
It’s been a very long time coming, in no space and time at all, in artists taking their birth-right freedoms to bring life to its fullest.
I started tapping into this as a child because I knew my name was a prophecy, but I also understood how being a girl (in the Hebrew Bible) and having that name meant that if anyone ever found out what I saw, it held the very deep truth of changing everything.
I lived with that very weird juxtaposition that I discovered at about 4 years old when I read my name in Israel’s Jacob’s words, and also the circumstances surrounding me in how extremely harshly invasively restrictive it was to be a girl.
I was driven to understand the structure where the feminine seemed an appendage instead of the life-giving inspiring force of a dead and blocked culture, and knowing the prophecy was the way of that deepest life and death shift of structure.
And so I had the dilemma as a little girl with a pure heart told I was bad, and holding hope for humans that also seemed daring, what it all meant was a trick to be played on those who wouldn’t allow me to be valued or have true place as a girl. It was a weird combination of wanting to do the right thing, and seeing how that path would have to go.
In all this time of writing and never stopping discovering I could see and show how the artists were born to it, born to open up thousands of years of art that was speaking.
And every single time I looked, an extraordinary perfection would show itself. And so I kept on writing through this all, and that’s what this is: showing the miracles breaking through in the artists and their art.
THE COMING APHRODITE in THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
A romantic and magical glimpse into the literary and cinematic historic blocks of Greenwich Village of Washington Square Park from 1920 to 2010 where I stood there knowing I was falling in love with John Mayer, and about to come to see into what Willa Cather dreamt into incarnation there from her stories “The Bohemian Girl” and “Coming, Aphrodite!” and Audrey Hepburn saved them and gave us the gift of Breakfast at Tiffany’s to open all these decades later, as if it is just now happening, her spirit so alive in her grace and humor. And then the gorgeous cosmos unveiling its play of this into realness across time and space with all these paths meeting into the expression of art and the feminine and what happens when that playful radiance is seen breaking through. All the while an unimaginable chorus of goddesses were transforming the symbols of art and culture to realness and to seeing their exquisite depth of beauty to inspire us all.

This video is premiered on the date to match this cataclysmic spiritual cosmic alignment from 577 BC, from the 1960s, and from 1993 and Audrey’s passing, the wings unfolded to the exact sextiles of Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus, with Saturn Neptune, the water and the flood, conjuncting in the exact middle of those cosmic opened wings and on the exact beginning of the zodiac, and on this 7 September 2025 Total Lunar Eclipse at 15˚ Pisces, the same, now strengthened eclipse of the release of John Mayer’s Continuum that same week on 12 September 2006. With this release we are now between the eclipses, in that altering “between the worlds,” where things are fluid and changed, and the coming solar eclipse at 29˚ Virgo on 21 September, direct opposition the Saturn Neptune conjunction, all on the public world axis, breaking open the immensity of that exact position and the intuited possibilities that we were first alerted to in 2010 becoming real from the dream we each held, what we knew of ourselves and couldn’t say, and now in this moment having given our lives to it for fifteen years, but truly for all of us, since childhood dreams and determinations of something quite different and filled with wonder. May love be broken open the planet over.
TOUCH THE MIRACLES: HOW AUDREY HEPBURN BRILLIANTLY SUBVERTED HUMANITY'S WORST NARCISSISTIC ABUSES
Touch the miracles.
How Audrey Hepburn gorgeously and brilliantly subverted humanity's worst narcissistic abuses from the destruction of WWII to America's negligent reliance on narcissism as fame and power.
And by purposefully opening the masterful female author Willa Cather's precognizant feminine vision across a globe, Audrey was actually working in real elements of enchantment, not just Hollywood.
Transcription:
From Audrey's Roman Holiday that set love and freedom in the midst of culture and honor, to Willa's narrative Death Comes for the Archbishop that opens the transformation of Catholicism from Rome
to the American Southwest through the artistic and feminine for "the beginning of momentous things," my discovery of what Audrey did in her divinely humorous, rebellious acts against subterfuge came from seeing what Willa had done before her . . .
in defying coercion and deceptive control for the realness she knew within herself that first and foremost is the grounding and formation of existence, and thus the life-grounded basis of culture, religion, politics, economics, education, and from which they most beautifully can grow and be truly alive and inspired.
Willa Cather's writing takes on the cultural foundations, the underpinnings of thought, and transforms them into the possibilities of different outcomes for the very definition of America itself, rooted very differently in the feminine, in immigration, in true cultural heritage, even transforming religion and politics.
Through her choices and actions Audrey was doing the transforming, and quite literally doing it by also reclaiming Willa Cather's works and expressing her own radiant spirit through her intuition and determination to set everything as right as she could.
How did this come to me? I was born to it. It came from the cosmos, the Spirit World, the Eternal, of which we are the wild artistic expression of life. And it happened in perfect, cosmic, identifiable order. From every angle you look at it, it all points to the actual play of the eternal in knowable evidence.
In the August 1912 McClure's Magazine (of which Willa was an editor) is Willa's wildly important feminine and immigrant story "The Bohemian Girl" of Clara Vavrika, the actual forerunner of Audrey's Holly Golightly,
who also comes from Willa's story "Coming, Aphrodite!" (1920) set in Greenwich Village, NYC, "on the top floor of an old house on the south side of Washington Square."
In "Coming, Aphrodite!" Eden Bower moves into the building where Don Hedger lives with his dog, Caesar III.
In the story, Greenwich Village is a cultural Garden of Eden, the story also known as "Coming, Eden Bower!"
Audrey knew this. It is likely that she knew the problem from the early moments of arriving in New York City and her friendship with the iconic photographer Richard Avedon, a colleague of Truman Capote's who had been published at Harper's Bazaar.
It was an on-going hidden darkness over decades, shadowing Willa Cather's work and following Audrey's every step. Most especially with the height and beauty of her fame, Audrey could not speak out and entangle with the ugliness that would ensue from the "victimized" battered ego with predictable forceful press sensationalism. That kind of "voice" isn't the most powerful one.
Willa Cather's stories and characters stand shoulders above in depth and breadth and effect resonating far beyond the limited self-aggrandizement and abuse, which is a mental obstacle to ultimate freedom of the spirit. Her treatment of romance is masterfully significant, opening culture in wild realizations and deeply reverberating answers.
Eden Bower is an opera singer before her international career. Don Hedger is an important painter. In this moment in this Garden of Eden their failure to recognize the Beingness of the other leaves them with their art, but without the realness of recognition to which art itself points. Which means that it points to that it goes further.
In Audrey's realness she is able to recognize that her role is bigger than just accepting the accolades of being a "star." It can be seen in her actions that what is more important to her is that the ramifications are much larger than cinema, the effects broader into life itself. With her wonderful high intelligence, wit, humor and light-heartedness she could bring back the focus from lies and press to the effects of the eternal literature that alters culture for the best for everyone--for all of life.
These are things that cannot be said, but lived, created, masterfully above and beyond and out of the hands of narcissistic control, and in ultimate taking care. Powerful art and actions are legends itself--gently flowing past the dark impediments that seem to be looming and forceful but are actually made of fear of nothingness (when all is actually sacred) and a willingness, even a malignant desire to hurt others because of that inner feeling of emptiness and desperation.

HERMES LE SAMOURAI, 1967 John Mayer and Alain Delon in THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S: The tricksters are in full view that upturn the world.
L'HERMÈS EN ORANGE AU PETIT-DÉJEUNER CHEZ TIFFANY'S À GREENWICH VILLAGE. The divine tricksters are in the neighborhood.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was originally written by Willa Cather and set in Greenwich Village in the real heartbeat of art and culture.
Truman's narrative about himself wasn't reality, it was coercion.
Pure art is not coercion.
It alters culture from its view of the deep roots of insight, whether it can be said openly or not without "outrage."
Audrey Hepburn, without conflict with Truman (but still arousing his constant state of contempt), is the actual breakthrough essence of clarity--on purpose.
This is why the obfuscation has to be broken.
The divine trickster is in the neighborhood.
These are things that cannot be said, but lived, created, masterfully above and beyond and out of the hands of narcissistic control, and in ultimate taking care. Powerful art and actions are legends itself--gently flowing past the dark impediments that seem to be looming and forceful but are actually made of fear of nothingness (when all is actually sacred) and a willingness, even a malignant desire to hurt others because of that inner feeling of emptiness and desperation.

THE MIRACLE IN THE WRITING: THE BOOKS
First written as essays of discovery beginning in 2012 of moving alone with a Bichon and a Yorkie to the woods of the Lincoln National Forest on a sacred mountain in the Sacramento Mountains on the edge of the Mescalero Apache Reservation in New Mexico, the magic started to appear with the mythology of the Apaches and emerging from Place. In time the daily discoveries led to the hidden truths back to ancient Greece, to Rome, and to rivers and caves through Provençe, all from rivers and hiking trails in New Mexico in deep contemplation as pop culturally the writing was laying the hidden, covert groundwork for the ultimate realization of THE HERMES IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S and how divine artists can alter the structure of a culture that is limited by otherness, and instead breaking wide open the Beingness seen in all.
