“Man is bound to follow the exploits of his scientific and inventive mind and to admire himself for his splendid achievements. At the same time, he cannot help admitting that his genius shows an uncanny tendency to invent things that become more and more dangerous, because they represent better and better means for wholesale suicide. In view of the rapidly increasing avalanche of world population, we have already begun to seek ways and means of keeping the rising flood at bay. But nature may anticipate all our attempts by turning against man his own creative mind, and, by releasing the H-bomb or some equally catastrophic device, put an effective stop to overpopulation. In spite of our proud domination of nature we are still her victims as much as ever and have not even learnt to control our own nature, which slowly and inevitably courts disaster.” ~ Carl Jung

Today marks the final installments of The Divine Diva Tour: A Fairy’s Tale, my 2005 project that is finally getting its online publication premiere two decades after I first took it around the country. A lot has changed since that time (hello gray hair of the silver fox era) but so many of the themes and ideas explored remain as relevant and resonant today as they did back then. In the end, this fairy’s tale is a cautionary one, cloaked in sparkle, pissed on by pizzazz, and shrouded in the sequin-splintering dazzle of this multi-trick pony.

I was everything.

I was nothing.

I was… Divine.
