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. 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...

A jewelry store and watch provenance in Cincinnati, Ohio, leading to discoveries of Breakfast at Tiffany's and John Mayer in NYC. Before Willa Cather’s work became Breakfast at Tiffany’s, in 1896 Willa had just graduated from college and moved to Pittsburg to become the editor of Home Monthly. That year the jewelry store Richter & Phillips Co. opened in Cincinnati, Ohio, the beginning state of her narrative Death Comes for the Archbishop and my birthplace on the Ohio River.

When I was a very little girl, before John Mayer was born, I lived in a very strict religious environment in Amelia, Ohio. I wasn’t allowed to see television, listen to a radio, or look at billboard signs on the highways. I taught myself to read from the Hebrew Bible because they showed me my name there and I wanted to be able to read it. And like Joan of Arc was accused of in her trials, I was also not allowed to wear pants or any “boy” clothing, nor ever cut my hair. The only pop music album I was allowed to own but told I could only listen to one side of it was Neil Diamond’s single “Shilo"....

"I wanna write her name in the sky."  —Tom Petty, “Free Fallin’” The years around 577 B.C. is the only known Uranus, Neptune, Pluto Conjunction and that singular moment in cosmic history also marked the beginnings of the world’s philosophies and religions as shown by scholar Richard Tarnas in his book Cosmos and Psyche, thus making that the opening moment, the source and seed conjunction of our current spiritual and deeply transformative sextiles of all three planets that are now perfectly aligned 60˚apart from each other. This is also blooming from another powerful seed alignment of those 3 planets that was strongly formative and expressive from the 1960s.

Most Gorgeous Man, In the sacred texts I found where Willa Cather was writing of here at the end of her existence in form (1947), of here in Avignon in her Hard Punishments. Truman Capote had copied her from the beginning of his ‘career’ in the 1940s (with “Miriam” in 1945), and of course was still living on that, doing it in his final years, too, emulating [self-immolation to be like her] in his Answered Prayers. She didn’t finish it, for a reason that is beautiful, showing her path, and she had it mostly destroyed upon her passing, and so Truman made a public spectacle of doing the exact same thing, among all the details of her identity which held...
