was working on my #Bowie quilt & realized something

Reversed, the quilt begins:

The Next Day Under the God Where Are We Now? Velvet Goldmine ★ D.J. Up the Hill Backwards The Prettiest Star As the World Falls Down…

Then the traveler passes through:

Scary Monsters I’m Afraid of Americans Loving the Alien Cat People Sorrow Panic in Detroit Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide

At the center comes collapse and rebirth:

Five Years Oh! You Pretty Things All the Young Dudes The Jean Genie Fashion Lazarus

Then the message becomes unmistakable:

This Is Not America Sound and Vision Moonage Daydream Golden Years Young Americans Fame The Man Who Sold the World Ashes to Ashes Changes Rebel Rebel

And it finishes:

Starman Under Pressure Modern Love Life on Mars? Space Oddity “Heroes” Ziggy Stardust Let’s Dance

Not an objectively encoded prophecy, obviously—but as accidental narrative?

For an #artist : I’d say it probably intentional … after a timeframe at least

Death → rebirth → revelation → rebellion → transcendence → joy.

That is the quilt’s story. 🛸⚡️✨ for my forever ♾️ #Starman #Quilt⁠#story
