ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of April 29 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Chris Moneymaker was employed as an accountant in Tennessee. On a whim, he paid $39 to enter an online poker tournament. Although he knew a lot about the game, he had never competed professionally. Nevertheless, he won the tournament. As his award, he received no money, but rather an invitation to participate in the annual World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Can you guess the storybook ending? The rookie triumphed over 838 pros, taking home $2.5 million. I don’t foresee anything quite as spectacular for you, Aries, but there may be similar elements in your saga. For example, a modest investment on your part could make you eligible for a chance to earn much more. Here’s another possible plot twist: You could generate luck for yourself by ramping up a skill that has until now been a hobby.

American author Stephen Crane wrote his celebrated Civil War novel “The Red Badge of Courage” in 10 days. Composer George Frideric Handel polished off his famous oratorio Messiah in a mere 24 days, and Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky produced his novel “The Gambler” in 16 days. On the other hand, Junot Díaz, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,” needed 10 years to finish it. As for you, Libra, I think this is—and should be!—a phase more like Díaz’s than the other three creators’. Go slowly. Be super extra thorough. What you’re working on can’t be rushed.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 eBay is a multi-billion-dollar e-commerce business that has been around for almost 20 years. But it had an inauspicious beginning. The first item ever sold on the service was a broken laser pointer. Even though the laser pointer didn’t work, and the seller informed the buyer it didn’t work, it brought in $14.83. This story might be a useful metaphor for your imminent future, Taurus. While I have faith in the vigor of the long-term trends you are, or will soon be, setting in motion your initial steps may be a bit iffy.

Poetically speaking, it’s time to purify your world of all insanities, profanities, and inanities. It’s a perfect moment for that once-in-a-blue-moon Scour-a-Thon, when you have a mandate to purge all clunkiness, junkiness, and gunkiness from your midst. And as you flush away the unease of your hypocrisies and discrepancies, as you dispense with any tendency you might have to make way too much sense, remember that evil is allergic to laughter. Humor is one of the most effective psychospiritual cleansers ever.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 I was in the checkout line at Whole Foods. The shopper ahead of me had piled her groceries on the conveyor belt, and it was her turn to be rung up. “How are you doing?” she said cheerfully to the cashier, a crabby-looking hipster whom I happened to know is a Cancerian poet and lead singer in a local rock band. “Oh, I am living my dream,” he replied. I guessed he was being sarcastic, although I didn’t know for sure. In any case, I had a flash of intuition that his answer should be your mantra in the coming weeks. It’s time to redouble your commitment to living your dream! Say it 20 times in a row right now: “I am living my dream.”

As I awoke this morning, I remembered the dream I’d just had. In the dream, I had written a horoscope for you. Here’s what it said: “The Kentucky Derby is a famous horse race that takes place on the first Saturday of every May. It’s called ‘The Run for the Roses’ because one of the prizes that goes to the winning horse and jockey is a garland of 554 roses. I suspect that your life may soon bring you an odd treasure like that, Leo. Will it be a good thing, or too much of a good thing? Will it be useful or just kind of weird? Beautiful or a bit ridiculous? The answers to those questions may depend in part on your willingness to adjust your expectations.”

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Don’t calm down. Don’t retreat into your sanctuary and relax into protective comfort. If you have faith and remain committed to the messy experiment you have stirred up, the stress and agitation you’re dealing with will ripen into vitality and excitement. I’m not exaggerating, my dear explorer. You’re on the verge of tapping into the catalytic beauty and rejuvenating truth that lurk beneath the frustration. You’re close to unlocking the deeper ambitions that are trapped inside the surface-level wishes.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 In her book “A Natural History of the Senses,” Diane Ackerman describes a medieval knight who asked his lady for a strand of her pubic hair: a symbol of her life force. The lady agreed. He placed the talisman in a locket that he wore around his neck, confident that it would protect him and consecrate him in the course of the rough adventures ahead. I recommend that you consider a similar tack in the coming weeks, Scorpio. As you head toward your turning point, arm yourself with a personal blessing from someone you love. Success is most likely if you tincture your fierce determination with magical tenderness.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “An escalator can never break,” mused comedian Mitch Hedberg. “It can only become stairs. You should never see an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order’ sign, just ‘Escalator Is Temporarily Stairs.’” I think a similar principle applies to you, Sagittarius. If we were to try to evaluate your current situation with conventional wisdom, we might say that part of your usual array of capacities is not functioning at its usual level. But if we adopted a perspective like Hedberg’s, we could rightly say that this part of you is simply serving its purpose in a different way.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I’ve got a tough assignment for you. It won’t be easy, but I think you’re ready to do a good job. Here it is: Learn to be totally at home with your body. Figure out what you need to do to feel unconditional love for your physical form. To get started on this noble and sacred task, practice feeling compassion for your so-called imperfections. I also suggest you cast a love spell on yourself every night, using a red candle, a mirror, and your favorite creamy beverage. It may also help to go down to the playground and swing on the swings, make loud animal sounds, or engage in unusually uninhibited sex. Do you have any other ideas?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 When Aquarian media mogul Oprah Winfrey was born, “Oprah” was not what she was called. Her birth certificate says she is “Orpah,” a name her aunt borrowed from a character who appears in the biblical “Book of Ruth.” As Oprah grew up, her friends and relatives had trouble pronouncing “Orpah,” and often turned it into “Oprah.” The distorted form eventually stuck. But if I were her, I would consider revisiting that old twist sometime soon, maybe even restoring “Orpah.” For you Aquarians, it’s a favorable time to investigate original intentions or explore primal meanings or play around with the earliest archetypes.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 What I propose is that you scan your memories and identify everyone who has ever tried to limit your options or dampen your enthusiasm or crush your freedom. Take a piece of paper and write down a list of the times someone insinuated that you will forever be stuck in a shrunken possibility, or made a prediction about what you will supposedly never be capable of, or said you had a problem that was permanently beyond your ability to solve. Once you’ve compiled all the constricting ideas about yourself that other people have tried to saddle you with, burn that piece of paper and declare yourself exempt from their curses. In the days after you do this ritual, all of life will conspire with you to expand your freedom.

MODERN OLDERHOOD It Takes a Village Time to roll up your sleeves and get involved. No more armchair quarterback, no more feeling sorry for yourself. I have a job for you and only you can do it!

Sweet Dreams Begin With A Healthy Mattress

We are forming a Village in Santa Cruz. Not sure of the name yet but basically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small network of geographically close homes that pledge to do a good deed now and then. Totally volunteer. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a rocket scientist or commit to 100 meetings. Curious? Each interested and earnest representative will gather contact phone numbers and Ă&#x20AC;UVW QDPHV :H ZLOO DVN WKDW SHUVRQ WR identify folks in their immediate 8 blocks or so that need help. Rides to medical appointments, help with groceries, unpacking the bags perhaps. Or maybe feeding the cat, walking the dog or changing a light bulb in a hard to reach place. Perhaps someone pushed the wrong button on the cable remote and got the dreaded â&#x20AC;&#x153;no signalâ&#x20AC;?. If you are aging in place, losing access to the talking lamp (TV) is really hard. Someone in your neighborhood has a knack for that kind of thing. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get our kids involved helping surrogate grandparents. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teach compassion and patience. AND letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learn a little something from these marvelous generations who are keepers of an old world. One with some charm and grace. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listen to their stories. 6R LI \RX FDQ PHQG D IHQFH Ă&#x20AC;[ D JDWH latch, change a light bulb, read a story, listen to oral history, do some shopping for a neighbor, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be meeting the people in your area who will help you when the time comes, and meeting those that need a little cheer and just a little help to stay in place.

Good Times really captured an era, a real walk down memory lane! A special shout out goes to Cat Johnson for her story on the LGBT changes over the years. I would like to add these highlights: the first Gay Pride in 1975, and the political mobilization we did against Prop. 6, the Briggs Initiative, which would have banned gay people from teaching. Also, the disco era and Santa Cruz’s first gay bars, Mona’s and the Dragon Moon, where we could

meet one another and dance the night away. Also, the Gay Men’s Drop In, the AGEM shows at the Civic which sold out for years, Triangle Speakers educating students about LGBT issues for over 25 years now; the growth of visible gay families, the fight for gay marriage, and the growth in visibility for the trans population right here in our town. Aren’t we all fortunate to live here? LARRY FRIEDMAN | SANTA CRUZ

IN THE WORKS The approved plan for Aptos Village. PHOTO: BARRY SWENSON

It Takes a Village Aptos residents worry their new plan may be too big for a small town BY MAT WEIR

he air was electrified with anger and concern on the evening of April 22, as residents of Aptos piled into the Rio Sands Inn’s community room. Organizers expected around 75 people at the meeting to discuss the Aptos Village Plan; they got two or three times that many. The temperature was hot—and so were tempers. “The project itself is an entitled project,” County Supervisor Zach Friend said, opening the meeting. “The purpose of tonight isn’t to have a discussion [about] whether it’s good or bad … It’s an already approved project. The builders can start whenever they want.” That was the last thing that residents in the audience wanted to hear. Many were concerned about the already snarled-beyond-reason traffic;

housing units with no plans for where to send kids to school; and adding more people and businesses to a town of 6,220 during a drought. The project is the reconstruction of downtown Aptos Village, at the intersection of Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch Road, including the area in front of the Aptos Post Office and around the historic Bayview Hotel, all the way to the entrance to the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. The building process has taken a dozen years for permitting and has been discussed in nine public hearings and 22 neighborhood meetings, according to records on developer Barry Swenson Builder’s website. It’s one of two major projects for Aptos—the other, a redevelopment of the Safeway shopping center at State Park and Soquel drives has been

discussed, but no formal plans have been submitted. Although the meeting was called to discuss proposed minor changes to the Aptos Village Project (curving a road which then cuts a proposed building in two and adds additional space for a third one to be built), it quickly became clear the real topic on everyone’s mind was the plan itself. Half of the meeting was spent answering questions handed in on index cards. Approved twice by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors in 2012, the development follows the Aptos Village Plan of 2010 to “re-establish the Village as the Civic Heart of Aptos,” according to the plan’s official website (theaptosvillage.com). It will include 69 new residences, 15 shops and four restaurants including >13

The details surrounding 27-year-old Alix Tichelman’s arrest in Santa Cruz last July— the Lifetime-esque sting operation, the “Harbor Hooker” hook, the drugs, the Google executive with a $345K yacht—were every reporter’s wet dream. But some activists believe the case against her has been distorted by media bias against sex workers. “It could be anybody in Alix’s position—a sex worker that is meeting with a client and then something goes horribly wrong,” says Kristina Dolgin, who launched the legal advocacy organization Red Light Legal at the beginning of this year. Dolgin reached out to Tichelman in a recent letter to offer additional legal services and support; she says she wants people to remember that Tichelman is innocent until proven guilty, regardless of her profession. “They’re using language that is clearly seeking to demonize [Tichelman], strip her of her humanity and make her less than a person—to be vilified and not protected,” Dolgin says. Dolgin, who has worked in various areas of the sex industry for seven years, pursued a law degree at Golden Gate University after graduating from San Francisco State University. She is the current Co-Law Student Vice President of the National Lawyers Guild’s San Francisco chapter. She sees her mission as fighting for the safety and well-being of sex workers. “[Tichelman] is an easy scapegoat just by the type of work she does. There’s this respectability polarization happening between the Google executive and the person that he hired,” says Dolgin. “There’s a lot of motivation for law enforcement to hold somebody, anybody, accountable. They see someone working in the sex industry—Alix— as low-hanging fruit.” Tichelman and Forrest Hayes met through the website seekingarrangement.com before going to Hayes’ yacht in the Santa Cruz harbor in November 2013, where he asked Tichelman to inject him with heroin. After he OD’d, Tichelman was arrested on charges of manslaughter, prostitution, destroying evidence and transporting a

NEWS IT TAKES A VILLAGE <11 a New Leaf Community Market in the old Apple Barn (now Village Fair Antiques but still lovingly referred to as the “Apple Barn” by Aptos residents). The barn will be relocated at the center of the Village, next to a newly designed, artificial turf field named the “Village Green.” The housing will be in 14 two- and three-story buildings opposite the exit to the Post Office. The project is set to begin in the fall and finish its first stage in spring, 2016. “The County envisioned this area to be much more than a project,” Mary Gourlay of Barry Swenson Builder told the crowd. “It was meant to be pedestrian-friendly and keeping in character with what exists in Aptos right now.” Some in the crowd were happy to see the addition of housing and businesses; others were afraid that it would bring too much congestion. The most vocal opponent, Becky Steinbruner, had jumped in front of a bulldozer in February trying to stop it from demolishing a dirt track for bicycles, which stood where the housing will be. She and four other protesters were unsuccessful in stopping the long-planned

construction, and claimed the public wasn’t given enough input. Steinbruner is encouraging residents to try and get the plan put off—at least, she says, until measures are taken to forestall the drought, or the drought ends. “I would like to see it delayed until the water issue is resolved,” she says. She’s also concerned about the fact that the only access to the new downtown is the two-lane Soquel Drive, which can’t be widened because it is bordered by two railroad overpasses and an almost century-old bridge.“The area is already so dense,” says Steinbruner. “How will they evacuate if there is a fire? There are a thousand people living around there and the roads will jam up.” Many left the meeting shaking their heads and murmuring as they exited or headed straight to the planners for follow-up explanations. “I have to digest the information now,” said one man who asked not to be identified. “There were things I wasn’t aware of that came out in the meeting: some good, some questionable.” Susan P. Wright, a science historian doing research at the UCSC Politics Department, was more skeptical. “In essence, this meeting was about

the attempt of the developers, with support from the water managers, and possibly also the traffic department, to dispense great globs of tranquilization, distraction, and pacification into the turbulent currents of community skepticism,” says Wright. One of the plan’s first steps is moving the 125-year-old Hihn Apple Barn, which will become a 17,500-square-foot New Leaf Community Market. For that to happen, Granite Way must also be realigned to accommodate it. When asked if the Apple Barn can sustain such a move, a civil engineer for Barry Swenson Builder, David Ramsay, said: “The hope is that the barn will not fall apart.” A similar historic effort failed when a barn fell apart at another Aptos shopping area—Deer Park, on Rio del Mar Boulevard—in the 1970s. Later in the evening, Jesse Nickell of Barry Swenson Builder showed more confidence, “Construction people do this for a living … I have no doubt in my mind that it will make it back together,” says Nickell. He added that there is no plan to have an archeologist at the site when the historic structure is moved, which drew more criticism from the crowd. Once the barn >16

OUTSIDE SHOT About 50 protesters gathered at the County Building Monday to let Assemblyman Bill Monning know they were against a bill that requires school kids to get vaccinated. But Monning was in Sacramento, doing his job. “He’s hiding from us,” yelled KSCO radio host “Humble Brian,” whose name couldn’t be more ironic. Brian, who looks like a mix of hate talker Michael Savage and local activist Robert Norse, also called for a recall of the vaccine-

supporting supervisors. “They could put something in those vaccines for Communist China that takes down our whole country!” said Brian. KSCO has several antivaccine hosts, including Alex Jones and “Georgia,” who also believe that the government is trying to either control minds or the weather through jet plane exhaust vapor called “chemtrails.” One woman held a sign claiming that vaccines have killed 130 people, but measles has killed no one. On the contrary, the World Health Organization lists 145,000 worldwide deaths in 2013 from measles. BRAD KAVA

With his facial locks and ubiquitous black pants and jacket, Alekz Londos, 34, looks like a hipster panhandler—which is, in a sense, what he is. For a decade, Londos has raced to disaster scenes to document them and provide relief. But he’s so unassuming, it takes time to realize he’s the real thing. Even Facebook knocked out his Nepal relief page four times. (Let’s assume it was an algorithm hiccup, not that he was competing with their own relief efforts.) He’s trying to raise money to get to Kathmandu, where he will distribute $4,000-$5,000 worth

of free disaster survival kits, which he buys with profits from selling them at local stores. They have 24 items, including medicine, bandages and energy bars. A former Cabrillo journalism student, Londos sped to tornado and hurricane scenes for CNN, but wanted to do more. He spent a month in the Philippines doing rescue work and wrote a Good Times cover story about it. He was the only one on a plane to New Orleans straight after Hurricane Hugo and spent a week camped in a parking garage. He went to Africa for Ebola victims. He organized a tire removal campaign in Santa Cruz. He’s a one-man charity, with no overhead and the optimism

controlled substance. An enormous amount of media attention focused on Tichelman’s reaction to the overdose, which, after viewing the yacht’s surveillance video, was either panic or cold, calculating self preservation, depending on who you ask. The Santa Cruz Sentinel, among others, wrote about the earlier heroin death of Tichelman’s Atlanta boyfriend, Dean Riopelle, which occurred just months before Hayes’ overdose. Tichelman was tagged the “the Harbor Hooker,” and a “high-priced call girl,” and the opening of a July 10 article which ran in the Sentinel wouldn’t have been out of place in retro pulp fiction: “Men seem to fall at the feet of Alix Tichelman. Then they tend to die of heroin overdoses.” The Daily Beast dubbed Tichelman “The Black Widow of Silicon Valley,” and the nicknames, adjectives, and clichés

seeped through national coverage to such an extent that some, like activist Nicolas Marussi, have begun to ask if the sensationalism has dipped into the realm of slut-shaming. “That’s just a trial by public opinion before the trial even begins,” says Marussi, explaining why he and other protesters have been at the courthouse with a “Free Alix” banner since her first hearing. “Sex workers are an extremely vulnerable population and don’t have very much support and don’t want to be public with what they do most of the time,” Marussi says. “We think that it’s insane that the police are allowed to do this—just feed, feed, feed these stories and create their own narrative and bias the jury pool. It’s the police versus her.” Marussi is referring to the 48 Hours episode on CBS in which Santa Cruz Police

Department Deputy Chief and former department spokesperson Steve Clark described Tichelman as “cold” and stated, “This wasn’t just some accident gone awry. Mr. Hayes is a victim of the murder committed by Alix Tichelman.” Santa Cruz Assistant District Attorney Rafael Vazquez and the SCPD declined to comment for the purposes of this story. Tichelman’s social media image fit neatly into the prosecution’s narrative of a dark, tortured prostitute and drug addict: she has several tattoos and is often pictured wearing lingerie, in seductive poses with lips pursed, eyebrows arched. She makes little pretense about her work. It’s easy to get swept up in the sinister drama of the case—the drugs, the sex, the money, the intrigue—says Dolgin of Red Light Legal. But the truth about prostitution,

she says, is that a sex worker is more likely than a client to be killed. “Sex workers know that they are generally not thought of as human by police, and not thought of as human by society—people don’t place a whole lot of importance on their lives,” says Dolgin. Police, lawmakers and voters all have their individual prejudices, and policies around sex work often reflect moral issues, says Dolgin. What communities forget, she says, is that sex workers are also their neighbors. “What we try to do as an organization— one-on-one and when we do our coalition work—is to remind people that people in the sex industry are people,” Dolgin says. “They come through complex and complicated backgrounds, but no matter how or why they do the work they come to do, they should be treated with respect.”

is moved, the rest of Granite Way will be realigned to Village Way so construction can begin on two residential buildings on Granite Way. Phase One also includes a new road, Aptos Village Way, cutting through the heart of the project to connect Village Creek Road and Trout Gulch Road. An added offshoot, Parade Street, will connect Aptos Village Way and Soquel Drive. Two new traffic signals and a new left-turn lane into the Bay Federal Credit Union’s parking lot should improve traffic on Soquel Drive, says Jack Sohriakoff, a senior civil engineer with the Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works. One of the lights will be at Soquel Drive and Trout Gulch; the other at Soquel Drive and Aptos Creek Road, which leads into Nisene Marks State Park. The road improvements alone will cost an estimated $3.5 million, and construction is expected to begin in March 2016. Another question raised at the two-hour-long meeting was: Will the current water supply be enough to accommodate such a project? The developers said they were prepared for drought restrictions: businesses and residences will include efficient faucets and low-flow toilets. Swenson will install water-saving washing machines with a 4.5 water factor (the number of gallons used per cycle per cubic foot) in the residences. “That’s more than G.E. energyefficient washers,” says Gourlay. They will build roadside rain gardens on Aptos Village Way to harvest excess surface water. Bioswales—landscaping designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff—will drape Granite Way. They will also install 37 Darcy Columns (vertical drains used for sites with clay soil) to collect water. And the “Village Green” will be artificially turfed. Barry Swenson Builder is now waiting for the Board of Supervisors to vote May 5 on whether or not to approve the current set of modifications, and will apply for the a final permit then. The Board of Supervisors meets at 9 a.m. on May 5 in the Governmental Center Building at 701 Ocean Street, Room 525, in Santa Cruz.

a fair amount of controversy around Serra’s treatment of Native Americans in the building of California’s early missions. There is no process in place for unmaking a saint, either, so once the Vatican makes a decision it has to stand behind it. Canonization happens in four stages. The first designation is called “Servant of God,” which is awarded to an individual when the bishop of the diocese in which she died agrees to open an investigation into the virtues of the person. After that comes Venerable, and then Blessed—Blessed is what Mother Teresa is currently. Finally, there is Sainthood.

McDevitt first got involved with Cora’s writings in 1992 when his uncle, who had been Evans’ spiritual director in Los Angeles, asked him to be the custodian of her many written works. He agreed, without giving much thought to what that meant, and began infusing her writings into Catholic retreats he was leading. Five years ago, he decided to do more. “I thought Cora’s life story ought to be in the hands of the Catholic Church formally,” McDevitt says. “They weren’t aware of her.” McDevitt composed a petition outlining why Evans should be considered for canonization, a process for which there are no formal guidelines. “You just have to

“It is impossible to explain naturally the hidden depth of spiritual knowledge that has come to her through rapture and ecstasy. Neither her own imagination, nor her subconscious mind, nor the devil could have caused those visions and revelations.” - Father Frank Parrish <20 do it,” he says. A layperson with no experience in canon law, McDevitt was left to use his own judgment when describing in writing why Evans should be appointed a saint. Fortunately, he was “on fire for this work” and, perhaps, more notably, spent years working as an executive at a number of advertising agencies. He was successful, and Evans’ case is currently being reviewed by Bishop Richard John Garcia of Monterey—granting her Servant of God status, the first step on the path to sainthood.

he first and most pressing question that I had once I started researching the life and works of Cora Evans, I saved for my second interview with McDevitt, after we had gotten to know each other a bit, because it was potentially an extremely insulting one. I wanted to know if he had considered the possibility that Evans was completely and hopelessly insane. Religious experiences are one of the more common markers of schizophrenia—patients will believe that God is talking to them directly; they’ll have visions of divine beings and auditory hallucinations. Private violin concerts from the son of God seemed to fit in well with what I knew of the psychotic disorder. And then there was her writing. In addition to “Refugee from Heaven,” McDevitt has uncovered diary entries and accounts of what Evans experienced during her numerous ecstasies—blackout periods in which she supposedly had direct, first-

person religious experiences. They are full of bizarre claims, such as Jesus gifting Evans a ruby ring which she then wore around in real life, Evans teleporting to China to baptize infants there, and Evans arranging for rose petals to be dropped from the heavens onto the heads of prisoners in a German concentration camp during World War II. They are also full of the sort of rambling, extremist-sounding sentences that one might not be surprised to read from a writer who chose to live her life off the grid in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the 1950s: “The devil was angry with me for I threatened to use the cross which they hate and suffer under when we command in the name of Jesus for them to kneel before it (I have done this before and have actually heard them moan and cry for release),” she wrote in one entry. In another: “My Son’s Justice was about to strike upon America … but the merciful love of seven victim souls of love in America lowered His sword-clad hand. He burned the chart of His will and cast it into the sea of mystical America.” I sat across from McDevitt on a Friday morning at a strip-mall Starbucks in San Mateo. As we sipped decaffeinated coffees, I paged through the spiral-bound “Selected Writings of Cora Evans: Volume One,” which bears a bright red sticker on the front cover that reads, “Vatican Declares Cora Evans Servant of God,” as if it were a novel boasting, “Now a major motion picture!” “I have to ask about the connection between mental

Before I could elaborate he nonchalantly finished my question for me: “You’re asking if Cora was for real?” “Exactly.” McDevitt took a sip of his decaf and shrugged. “That’s what this process is about right now,” he answered simply. “It’s called inquiry.”

he inquiry, currently being executed by Bishop Richard John Garcia in Monterey, and to be potentially continued by the Vatican at some point, involves examining Evans’ life and choices. “There is a consistent theme in the lives of the Saints,” writes McDevitt in his introduction to Evans’ “Selected Writings.” “Their lives were given freely to the Lord … It is the story of their lives, how they responded to grace, the intervention of God in their lives, their impact on others, combined with God’s proof by miracles in their name that led the Pope to declare ‘we know for certain this person is with God in heaven.’” Evans was born in 1904 and was baptized and brought up in the Mormon Church in Utah. She was married in the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, and that ceremony marked the beginning of her disillusionment with the Mormon faith. It seemed artificial to her. She balked at Mormonism’s “counterfeit Jesus,” as McDevitt puts it. After that, she explored other religions for 10 years before stumbling upon Catholicism while listening to a Catholic Hour radio program when she was sick in bed, too weak to get up and change the station. She converted to Catholicism in 1935, followed by her husband and two daughters a few months later. She had her first mystical experience in 1938, an ecstasy during which she described a complete intimate union with God. “By loaning Jesus my humanity for Him to govern as well as dwell within, would make my life a living prayer,” she wrote. In 1941 she and her family moved to Southern California to

escape prejudice from their former Mormon community in Utah. There, she was linked up with Father Frank Parrish (McDevitt’s uncle), who was appointed her spiritual director by the Provincial of the Society of Jesuits in Los Angeles. She began having more and more ecstasies. (“So many,” according to McDevitt.) During these periods, her body would go as rigid as a corpse. Parrish later wrote that it was impossible for him to move her during these periods—lifting her just a few inches took multiple strong men. She would often hold her stiffened arms extended above her head, like Jesus on the cross, for hours. Parrish couldn’t budge them. “While in the state of ecstasy, Cora seems to acquire weight,” he wrote in a testimonial of Evans in the early 1950s. “The weight of the knowledge imparted has a bearing on the weight that her body acquires.” Evans also reportedly felt the wounds of Jesus—the stigmata appeared on her hands, and Parrish recorded the scent of roses emanating from her on numerous occasions, a phenomenon traditionally associated with holy people and saints. All this begs the question of why so few people were aware of Evans and the shocking experiences she was having back then. McDevitt calls her a “hidden mystic,” and explains that the Cardinal in Los Angeles, who was aware of Evans, did not want to attract fanfare. “You know how when people say they see Jesus’ face on their burnt piece of toast or whatever, and then they’re all over the news for a week? That person rather than our lord becomes the focus,” says McDevitt. When I asked what she typically did with her days McDevitt responded, “She went to mass and communion frequently, if not daily. And she had numerous ecstasies— during some periods she had them daily or almost daily. And then she would write.” Evans wrote on a manual typewriter with lightweight onionskin and carbon paper. Sometimes she wrote after her

other Mary knelt near the lower end of the log, and she shuddered and closed her eyes when she saw the large, square nails. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no sound. Then she heard the blow of the mallet. She opened her eyes to see a half-drunken man wield the hammer again and again. It missed the head of the nail and smashed savagely into her Sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. His beauty was now crushed, open and bleeding, revealing bare bones as part payment for the sins of men. Those words are from Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; telling of the life of Jesus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugee from Heaven.â&#x20AC;? Compared to some of her other writings, the book is shockingly lucid. It is suspenseful and its characters have depth. It is inarguably a gripping, well-written text. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, Evans composed it with no training as a writer. Her formal education barely extended beyond grade schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a year and a half of high school and nothing beyond that. According to Parrishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written testimonial of Evans, the quality of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugeeâ&#x20AC;? can be offered as proof that Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; religious experiences were genuine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is impossible to explain naturally the hidden depth of spiritual knowledge that has come to her through rapture and ecstasy. Neither her own imagination, nor her subconscious mind, nor the devil could have caused those visions and revelations,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was shown something,â&#x20AC;? says McDevitt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reads like an eyewitness account.â&#x20AC;?

ith the majority of Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; written worksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;14 books, in allâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;published, and her case for sainthood officially opened, one would think McDevitt, who has been working on Cora Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stuff full time for the past 15 years, is a guy who would be taking a beating right about now. Instead, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accelerating. He has contracted with Lance Johnson, the fast-talking founder of Green Egg Media, a San Francisco-based web development company, who has a plan to â&#x20AC;&#x153;build out a large-scale media enterprise that surrounds the mission.â&#x20AC;? In addition to designing a website and Facebook presence for Evans, Johnson, who is also a parishioner at San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Dominic Church, has been developing ideas for bringing awareness of Evans and her ideals to a younger generationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a task that, at 74, McDevitt wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how to achieve. Johnson is 33. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The perfect age,â&#x20AC;? he jokes to me when I speak with him on the phone. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Double trinity!â&#x20AC;? I fire back, to which he responds with exactly one polite chuckle.) He maintains that people under age 35 arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accustomed to buying printed books anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s digital,â&#x20AC;? he says. To that end his future goals include videos, a podcast, and a series of short e-books written by young Catholic authors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is not all reliant on the writings of one single author,â&#x20AC;? he says, meaning Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes well beyond that. Anything that is true, good and beautiful goes well beyond any individual person.â&#x20AC;? The site Johnson developed to promote Evans had 20,000 unique visitors the first quarter of this year. Individual blog posts have been shared as many as 1,000 times, and often generate hundreds of comments. To McDevitt, this growth is more than welcome. Because

<27 it turns out getting Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; books published was not the end goal. Getting her designated a saint isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even the end goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any vested interest in Cora becoming a saint,â&#x20AC;? McDevitt tells me flatly one afternoon. No. The end goal, friends, is world domination. Except, you know, in a peaceful way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing what we do because we want Cora to be famous,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canonization is another vehicle for getting her message out there.â&#x20AC;? McDevitt is well aware that when someone progresses on the path of sainthood, more and more people know about her. Especially once the person is declared â&#x20AC;&#x153;venerable,â&#x20AC;? because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when people can pray to her for things like medical intercessions, otherwise known as miracles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone is declared venerable the word really gets out,â&#x20AC;? says McDevitt. Tens of thousands of people know about Cora now. If sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declared venerable it will be in the millions.â&#x20AC;? Through her writingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both directly and indirectlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Evans described a style of prayer that encourages people to live with a heightened awareness of the indwelling presence of Jesus in their daily lives. This is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mystical Humanity of Christ,â&#x20AC;? the mission McDevitt says was entrusted to Evans by Jesus, which he is working to carry out today through his myriad vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means Christ in you,â&#x20AC;? he says. I think of the Buddhist greeting namaste which can be translated to mean, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the god in me honors the god in you.â&#x20AC;? Except in this case, having Jesus dwelling in you is contingent on the eucharistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; eating the holy, living bread, or Catholic communion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a spiritual communion that is about Jesus and the incarnation and the purpose for which he came into the world. He said that he would not leave us as orphans and he gave us the eucharist,â&#x20AC;? McDevitt explains. I ask how the mission of promoting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mystical Humanity of Christâ&#x20AC;? is different than just a straightup mission to convert people to Catholicism. He says the message is

unique in that it places more of an emphasis on daily livingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making a spiritual communion at all times, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in church or at the grocery store. He maintains the mission is not to convert people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But on the other hand, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the word of God,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the degree that that influences people to come into the church, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a byproduct of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

oward the end of a second interview with McDevitt, he rests his chin on his palm and asks me a question that I know he, too, has been waiting to ask from the beginning. What is my religious background? Am I a Christian? I tell him I was raised without religion. That my parents are agnostics, and when you grow up the way I did, you basically dismiss God. He asks what I thought of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugee from Heaven,â&#x20AC;? which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d read cover-to-cover. I tell him that it was beautifully writtenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and admit I was surprised how gripping it was. I tell him Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to read the Bible before, on occasion, just out of curiosity, but found the language and structure of it prohibitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave up at the part where they were just listing the dozens of names of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons for like 10 pages,â&#x20AC;? I say. McDevitt just nods and smiles. He says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugee from Heavenâ&#x20AC;? to the Bible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It stands on its own as a beautiful story that shows us over and over again the personality of Christ,â&#x20AC;? he says. To that end, he says the overwhelming feeling heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten from Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; depictions of Jesus is â&#x20AC;&#x153;how much Jesus loves meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; knows me and loves me.â&#x20AC;? He meets my eyes, his gaze soft and steady. I know that in this moment he wants the same thing Cora Evans wantedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps the reason she felt called to write â&#x20AC;&#x153;Refugeeâ&#x20AC;? in such an accessible way, a way that could reach people like me who have never had the overwhelming feeling he described. He wants me to get it. He wants to save me. All I can do is look down, thumb though my copy and say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful to have read it.

Cabrillo extends its powerful ‘Speaking Out’ photo-essay exhibit in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month BY LIZZIE COTTERELL

t first glance, the black and white photos of nude women that line the upstairs study areas of Cabrillo College Library emanate liberation and confidence. But a few steps closer reveals the essays that accompany each picture—detailing the sexual abuse these women have experienced

HOT TICKET

from friends, family members and strangers, in which they detail vulnerability, self-blame, addiction, and depression. It makes the strength on display in the photos all the more powerful. The exhibit, called “Speaking Out,” is in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which has been recognized nationally in April since

2001. Some of the students who have written in these essays about the sexual violence they’ve endured are opening up about it for the first time. Photographer Jan GoffLaFontaine is the author of “Women in Shadow and Light,” a collection of portraits and stories of survivors. She published her book about 10 years ago, and after speaking in

front of students, she decided to restart her project at Cabrillo. “There is a reason that they are nude portraits,” says Goff-LaFontaine. “Because women often after sexual assault will disconnect from their bodies, hate their bodies, gain a lot of weight, develop an eating disorder, [or] cut [themselves] in response >33 to their assault.”

STANDING UP AGAINST RAPE CULTURE Survivors of sexual assault bare

their bodies and souls in the ‘Speaking Out’ exhibit. PHOTO: JAN GOFF-LAFONTAINE

after my rape I wasn’t able to even begin healing because I had put such intense blame on myself.” “I still haven’t told my mom,” says Jenna. “I know that she will blame herself for letting me go on that trip.” But the more she talks about her past, she says, the easier it gets to do so, and she does intend to share her story with her mom eventually. Both Jenna and Jessica say they have been empowered by GoffLaFontaine’s photos. They prefer the term “survivor,” rather than “victim.” Both believe that teaching the younger generation of boys that a woman’s body is not theirs to take is a start to the end of rape culture. “We have activism flowing through our veins,” says Jessica. With a positive reaction from students and staff, Cabrillo has asked Goff-LaFontaine to extend the length of the exhibit past April into the end of the spring semester for more people to see. The exhibit is also in the SAC East building, in the waiting area, and at other spots around Cabrillo. Goff-LaFontaine is looking to put the exhibit up in high schools and other venues in the community. The ‘Speaking Out’ exhibit continues at Cabrillo College Library and other locations at Cabrillo College. Cabrillo is hosting “Denim Day” on Wednesday, April 29, encouraging students and others to wear denim as part of an international campaign protesting the 1998 Italian court decision which overturned a rape conviction because the woman attacked had been wearing jeans.

<30 Goff-LaFontaine’s intention is to photograph the women nude so they can reclaim their bodies and feel beautiful. She says that most women decline having the nude photos taken at first, but after opening up in their interview, they often feel like it is the next step in their healing journey. “There is a certain freedom that comes from [having their picture taken nude],” says Goff-LaFontaine. “From having someone who is looking at them only trying to see their beauty and their strength when they are photographing.” Jessica and Jenna are two participants in the “Speaking Out” exhibit who joined Goff-LaFontaine to speak in front of Cabrillo classes about their experiences after the exhibit was put up. Jessica is a survivor of abuse by multiple men. She was only 14 and a virgin when she was raped by two boys that went to school with her, and at 22 she was raped again by a friend. After her first assault, she continued to go to school at Harbor High School with the attackers who took her virginity. Jessica writes in her essay, “Vulnerability has not come easy for me, but I am learning that when I do so, I receive the most beautiful reward: a connection with others.” Jenna had a difficult time telling anyone, including her family, about her experience on a camping trip with family friends when a boy drugged her. She says she has very little memory of what happened, but she remembers the pain she had physically afterward. In Jenna’s photo essay, she writes, “For so long

New books by Stephen Kessler trace his literary life in essay and lyric form BY CHRISTINA WATERS

wo new books, one of essays and observations, the other of prose poems, have just launched from the prolific pen of local liter-artist Stephen Kessler. “Where Was I?” offers a dreamscape of reflections on the strings attached to key places in Kessler’s biography. In his past recaptured, Kessler’s perennial haunts still pulse with imperfectly understood epiphanies and the hipsters itching to find out just what the hell it all meant. As the writer stalks his Santa Cruz of the mind, the strut of smart-ass longing bears more than a whisper of Ferlinghetti’s beatnik

stride. The book is pure jazz—riffs, improvisations and variations on the theme of then and now. As he notes of the Los Angeles of his youth, “Later there may be margaritas or mariposas or magdalenas or madeleines to proust your muses …” Prousting muses is certainly the operant trope in Kessler’s accessible new pieces, so effortlessly do they revive the hormonal meanderings of our own clueless yesteryears. Poems such as “Silver Lake” or “Hours in Logos” shimmer with an emotional congianti of ebb and flow, contradictions of mood and intent that twine uneasily between past and present. More magic realism than postmodern

collage, such a cunning mixture of images, candor, grief, and rock ’n’ roll sexiness is Kessler himself, a savvy and ardent bohemian with the work ethic of a triathlete. The slender volume bristles with extemporaneous enlightenment, such as in “Not Far from the Tar Pits” where he writes, “the classic love ballads of the jazz station playing as you cruise are just as eternal as ever.” “Where Was I?” is a prayerbook of casual encounters and their remembered potency. An unsentimental nostalgia for places and energies gone by—Santa Cruz’s Boardwalk, El Palomar, West Cliff, Mission Street and the California

of Kessler’s youth, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu. The insistent joy that seeps through his effortless prose is pushed back at every turn by sleek stoicism. “Those were the days, or so they seem from this distance, under the influence of senior discounts, re-imagining your 20s in some surf-crashed red wooded Left Bank or Montparnasse of the mind. The time is real, is now; it is you who have passed.” Bracing, heady, and full of sweet swing, these are polished bits of reflection aimed squarely at the hearts and minds of Kessler’s fellow baby boomers. They are the ideal audience for “Where Was I?” And he, it seems, is an ideal tour guide across the Styx of maturity. In “Need I Say More?” Kessler has curated a bouquet of his essays, memoirs, and thought pieces on notable lives, culture and politics, on writers and writing. With characteristic clarity of thought and clean, lively expression, the literary flâneur shares three decades of paying close attention to the driving forces of all-too-human folly and esprit. Each essay is a dip into a deeper pool where ordinary— and oft-submerged—objects are magnified by the lens of Kessler’s probing intelligence. A tidy fan-dance of confession and criticism, “Need I Say More?” will prove especially juicy to longtime locals who will recall many of the opinions and personalities under Kessler’s scalpel. There’s much to savor: Gertrude Stein, Cuba, the Oscars, Beat poetry, cooking, alternative journalism—the essays on sex, living alone, aging with dignity, and what happiness isn’t, are as rich as they are bravura. Poet, essayist, translator, and publisher, Kessler has been a tireless advocate for the examined life. And clearly—note that each of these new titles ends with a question mark—the quest continues. If you’re reading these words, you already know what to give your friends for the Holidays. Stephen Kessler will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29.

NEW LOOK FOR ‘FALL’ Mike Ryan and Julie James in ‘Complications From a Fall.’ PHOTO: STEVE DIBARTOLOMEO

A Gem From Jewel APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Sharp writing and great cast highlight Jewel Theatre’s ‘Complications From a Fall’ BY LISA JENSEN

or the fourth production of its Tenth Anniversary season, Jewel Theatre Company has plucked out a plum. Santa Cruz’s own Kate Hawley bestows a gift on JTC and its lucky patrons with her new play, Complications From A Fall. This is the World Premiere of Hawley’s play—a witty, often breezy comedy about a very serious subject— aging parents, and the grown children reluctantly deputized to care for them. The play has everything to recommend it to theatre companies large and small. It can be staged on a single set (with a few inventive flourishes, like those dreamed up for the JTC production by director Paul Whitworth). The cast is small, consisting of four terrific acting parts. And the subject matter is universal—

parent-child relationships, sibling friction, family secrets, and memories lost and found. Hawley skillfully mines this material for plenty of lifesized humor, without resorting to farce, or cheapening the drama of the situation. The story begins with an agitated Helen (JTC Artistic Director Julie James), a spinsterish university professor, fuming, in the house of her elderly, bedridden mother. She’s awaiting the arrival of her younger brother, Teddy (Mike Ryan), a scruffy musician in an obscure rock band that’s perpetually on the road. Helen has been their mother’s caretaker since the older woman took a fall a while back, but she has a scholarly conference to attend in Denver (she’s delivering a paper on

Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen), so Teddy has to come home for a few days to help out. Helen is ferociously organized and responsible, resentful of her brother’s footloose lifestyle, and resistant to his attempts to joke around—especially since he shows up a day late. Teddy is terrified to enter the world of adult diapers, sponge baths, and strictly scheduled medications. All of this is crisply conveyed in the opening scene, with Helen making little attempt to hide her disapproval, and Teddy determined to make the best of the situation. (While Ryan makes a deft comic prop out of Teddy’s hoodie.) All this time, their mother, Elizabeth (Nada Rowand), is sleeping in the next room. (In Kate Edmunds’ smart set design, both “rooms” share the stage

with an invisible wall between them; the surrounding walls are covered with the handwritten script of old letters.) Teddy faces his first hurdle when his mom wakes up; she recognizes him as her beloved son, but keeps calling for the previous hired caregiver, Lucy. His sister has told Teddy she let Lucy go because pieces of their mother’s jewelry kept disappearing, but Mom becomes so distressed, Teddy calls Lucy (an engaging Audrey Rumsby) for back-up. Teddy is surprised by the playfulness of Lucy’s relationship with his mother, laughing and singing old songs together. Mom keeps mistaking Lucy for her old college roommate, and Lucy makes no effort to correct her. Unlike Helen, who believes they should keep their mother firmly rooted in the present, Lucy feels that if she’s happier in the past, she should be allowed to stay there. It’s when Teddy discovers a box of his mom’s old photos and mementos under the bed that Elizabeth’s past quietly leaks into the family’s present lives. As a 7-year-old war refugee from England, Elizabeth was separated from her own mother and sent to live with a family of strangers in the States. (“They were Lutherans,” is about all the elder Elizabeth has to say about that.) After her own mother died back home, she stayed on in post-war America. Lucy tells Teddy she’s so fond of his mother because she also lost her mother at a young age. As the bond grows between Lucy, Elizabeth and Teddy, Helen checks in periodically from Denver (spotlighted at the edges of the tiny JTC stage). Temporarily freed from her duties, she gushes over a Norwegian scholar named Olaf, delivers a hilariously pompous and entirely specious address on Ibsen, and sings karaoke. These interludes are sharply written, and James gets plenty of comic mileage out of them. Rowand is great as the often infuriating, yet beguiling Elizabeth. Everything works, from B. Modern's effective costumes to the wartimeera pop songs that play between scenes in this thoughtful and entertaining production. The JTC production of ‘Complications From A Fall’ plays through May 17 at Center Stage, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. Call 425-7506 for info, or visit jeweltheatre.net.

MUSIC

TALES FROM THE HOOD Electronic music visionary Henry Laufer, aka Shlohmo, performs at the Catalyst on Saturday, May 2.

APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Screen Angst

Shlohmo’s new album is the latest step in the evolution of emotional electronic music BY AARON CARNES

n 1975, Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk was interviewed for Creem magazine, and talked about the true potential of electronic music, which was being written off as novelty music at the time. “The synthesizer is very responsive to the person,” he said. “It’s referred to as cold machinery, but as soon as you put a different person behind the synthesizer, it’s very responsive to the different vibrations—it’s more sensitive than a traditional instrument like a guitar.” This, of course, was delivered in his robotic deadpan, alongside three other equally deadpan guys dressed identically, which made the claims

hard for Americans to take seriously. But Schneider was prescient—not only has electronic music completely engulfed popular music, it indeed has become a tool with which artists express their inner emotional selves. But what’s happened is that as electronic music has pushed more into the mainstream, the human element seems to get lost; EDM is the perfect example. In the underground scene, however, artists are going farther and harder in the opposite direction, and continuing to explore its potential for empathy; the Low End Theory scene in Los Angeles, for instance, where young artists like producer Shlohmo (real name Henry

Laufer), who comes to the Catalyst May 2, cut his teeth. His latest record, Dark Red, which came out on April 7 is an instrumental, stark hour-long collection of electronic music, and a noteworthy entry into the genre. It’s simple, but it’s a heavy load emotionally, and dead serious. While Laufer is by no means the first person to achieve such emotional anguish via computer, he is a part of a new wave of artists that produce beats with emotional weight. In the case of Dark Red, it’s a focused and intensely sad collection of beats, without a single word to clarify his feelings. The 25-year-old producer has

released a handful of EPs and the 2011 full-length Bad Vibes. He’s received the inevitable Flying Lotus comparisons, which at this point are now shorthand for any producer that falls outside of the big-room Swedish House Mafia sound or the bouncy dance sounds of groups like Disclosure. But the difference between Flying Lotus and Shlohmo are vast. For one, Shlohmo isn’t nearly as informed by hip-hop, and more importantly, he’s not as psychedelic. If anything, he’s an artist who keeps his beats simple, taking the shortest course of action to express the greatest amount of feeling. Dark Red goes into new territory for Laufer. Despite his prior album’s title, Bad Vibes, that record was actually a much more serene and tranquil offering—not unlike Kraftwerk’s Trans Europe Express. The sounds were slippery, wet, and seemingly changing shape as they radiated, as if he really were playing a keyboard made partially out of organic material. By contrast, the sounds on Dark Red are cold and mechanical, and there seems to be nothing tranquil about the record. Whatever he is feeling anguish about is enough to sustain him through the course of 11 songs, and even the most technophobic, guitar-worshiping listeners will feel it, too. If there’s any criticism to be made about the record, it’s that it is almost too much for a single album. The lack of variety of tone stretched out over the course of 59 minutes, and, particularly on something as pained as Dark Red, seems like overkill. The titles of the tracks suggest nuances in the feelings (“Apathy,” “Fading,” “Relentless,” “Buried”) but it’s not something evident to the listener. The only place the record really shifts gears is during the closing song “Beams,” where it picks up pace a little bit and builds some energy. Maybe this is exactly the point, this single-mindedness of darkness. But Laufer could have just as easily expressed it in 35 minutes and created a stronger, more profound record at the same time.

WEDNESDAY 4/29 UCSC BIONEERS CONFERENCE

ARTS

You know how pioneers were the ones to brave new worlds and settle in dangerous lands? That’s kind of like what Bioneers are doing—only they’re pioneering plans in social justice, sustainable energy, ending racism, journalism, shifting consciousness, food justice, indigenous farm worker rights and education, water conservation, social enterprise and Native American community. It’s not digging for gold, and it’s probably better that way, but this brand of pioneering is a lot more engaging—with two days of workshops from activist-scholars and students.

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST EARL SWEATSHIRT Born Thebe Neruda Kgositsile, Earl Sweatshirt is a central part of the Odd Future rap crew started by Tyler the Creator. The collective’s early lore includes Sweatshirt being sent off to a school for at-risk boys in Samoa, prompting the “Free Earl” movement. But upon his return, Sweatshirt jumped back into Odd Future and started dropping singles and albums. His latest, this year’s I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside: An Album By Earl Sweatshirt, is confessional, dark, and reflective, as he opens up about his lifestyle, his time in Samoa, and his struggle with depression.

SATURDAY 5/2 REGGAE

PABLO MOSES The debut record by Pablo Moses, 1975’s Revolutionary Dream, is a roots reggae classic, though not commercially a huge hit. The band grooves hard, and Moses sings in a distinctly high-pitched, froggy voice, delivering some of reggae’s most frank political lyrics. The tune he’s most known for is the offbeat “I Man A Grasshopper” from the same year. Moses continued his crusade

against inequality, war and racism in later albums, adapting to the changing sounds of reggae, going more electronic and more into the dancehall genre, with still some roots reggae sprinklings now and again. AC

with contemporary pop and a feelgood delivery. CJ

MISS MASSIVE SNOWFLAKE The Portland-based band Miss Massive Snowflake was, for a short time, a solo project for Shane de Leon of Rollerball/Rllrbll, whose collaborations include Black Heart Procession, Solex, and OVO. But in 2007, Jeanne Kennedy Crosby took up bass duties, and, shortly after, Andy Brown of Jessamine and Fontanelle joined on drums. The result is a stripped-down, upbeat rock trio that combines elements of classic R&B and experimentalism

TUESDAY 5/5 TAL NATIONAL Hailing from the West African nation of Niger, Tal National have played their way to the top of their country’s “favorites” list since forming in 2000, and it’s easy to see why. Their second, internationally released LP, Zoy Zoy, captures the universal language of music with a plethora of African-influenced, polyrhythmic guitars and themes ranging from good times to the harsh, political realities of living in one of the world’s poorest countries. This will be the band’s Santa Cruz debut, so be prepared for them to bring everything they’ve got to wear your dancing shoes thin.

FILM

I TOUCH MYSELF Alicia Vikander plays the robot creation ‘Ava’ in Alex Garland’s sci-fi thriller ‘Ex Machina.’

Imitation Game APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Sci-fi gets smart in literate robotic thriller ‘Ex Machina’ BY LISA JENSEN

creenwriter Alex Garland has written some of the more interesting sci-fi scripts of the last few years—the bio zombie plague thriller 28 Days Later, for one, and Sunshine, about a group of astronauts on a mission to jump-start the dying sun in time to save the earth. Now Garland moves into the director’s chair with his new film Ex Machina. It’s a simmering chamber piece for three, with elegant echoes of Frankenstein and Blade Runner, yet very much rooted in both the technology and the prevailing mindset of today. The dialogue-free prologue sets up the premise in swift, deft strokes. Caleb (appealing naif Domhnall Gleeson), an anonymous programmer at a gigantic Internet search engine company, receives an email at

work one day telling him he’s won a company-sponsored contest. The prize is to spend a week with the company’s elusive, tech-genius founder at his private, forested retreat in the mountains, accessible only by helicopter, and hours away from any other human habitation. (All of this is conveyed via text messages and computer screens, until the info goes viral, and Caleb’s co-workers come spilling into his cubicle to congratulate him.) After hours in the air, Caleb is finally set down seemingly in the middle of nowhere. A modest wooden fence is just visible amid the lush greenery, with a blinking access box and a disembodied voice instructing him to enter. Thus, he descends into the lavish, largely subterranean compound of his boss, Nathan (Oscar

Isaac). Mercurial, no-nonsense, hard-drinking Nathan seems eager to dissolve the barriers between employer and employee and chum up to Caleb. (“We’re just a couple of guys having a beer.”) Of course, Caleb is flattered, even more so when Nathan reveals the purpose of their time together. Nathan needs another brainy guy to help with his latest project, a top secret experiment in artificial intelligence (A.I.). He schedules Caleb for daily test sessions with his new robotic creation, called Ava, to help determine if the machine has developed a consciousness of its own. But while much of her body is clear Lucite, revealing the wires and circuitry within (think of the ’60s kids toy Mr. Machine), Ava has the face and form of a seductive young

woman. As played by Alicia Vikander (abetted by some very sophisticated CGI imagery), she disarms Caleb with her innocence and curiosity. At their second session, she starts asking him questions. Then, during one of the seemingly random power outages when the place is locked down for a few minutes until surveillance equipment goes back online, Ava tells Caleb, “Nathan is not your friend.” Here the game of cat-and-mouse begins, although Garland is cagey about which of this three players is which. Any one of them might be predator or prey, at any given time—or not. The big-screen monitor in Caleb’s room gets only one channel—Ava’s private apartment. Nathan mentions that Ava has the capacity for sexual function and pleasure. Caleb wonders if Ava has been programmed to flirt with him. Ava poignantly asks Caleb if she’ll be “switched off” if she fails to pass their test. By the time Caleb discovers a Bluebeard-like cache of prototypes, the stakes have changed dramatically, although there’s a bit too much of the camera lingering over random female body parts in this scene than is absolutely necessary. Garland has fun viewing the madscientist motif through the template of modern technology. Nathan says he gave Ava speech and human awareness by hooking her up to the Internet. (A search engine, he says, is “a map to how (not what) people are thinking.”) The question of whether creating life—even an imitation of life, in robotic form—qualifies Nathan as a god is debated throughout. And the degree to which the two men— both “advanced programmers”—can (or cannot) program the situation keeps viewers on their toes. In our era of ever more sophisticated mechanical devices, the line between organic consciousness and programming itself becomes obscure. Garland invites us to consider the nature of humanity, at its best and worst, in this smart, literate thriller. EX MACHINA *** (out of four) With Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and Alicia Vikander. Written and directed by Alex Garland. An A24 release. Rated R. 110 minutes.

APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON The fate of the universe hangs in the balance (surprise!) in this latest superhero slugfest from the everwry imagination of writer-director Joss Whedon. Usual suspects Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), reteam to battle villainous Ultron (James Spader). Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Paul Bettany have featured roles. (But, sadly, no Loki this time.) (PG-13) 141 minutes. Starts Friday.

CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA All About Eve meets Birdman in this French backstage drama about a veteran actress (Juliette Binoche) rehearsing a stage play with a volatile young Hollywood starlet (Chloe Grace Moretz) cast in the antagonist role that made the Binoche character famous 20 years earlier. Kristen Stewart became the ﬁrst American actress to ever win a Cesar (the French Oscar) for her supporting role as Binoche’s assistant. Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours) directs. Starts Friday. THE SALT OF THE EARTH The 40year global journey of photographer Sebastião Salgado, on a mission to capture and record our planet’s wild, unspoiled beauty, is the subject of this documentary from Wim Wenders.

NOW PLAYING THE AGE OF ADALINE Blake Lively stars in this fantasy drama as a woman who has remained 29 years old for nearly a century who risks her isolated existence when she falls in love with a charismatic man (Michiel Huisman). Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, and Ellen Burstyn co-star. Lee Toland Krieger directs. (PG-13) 110 minutes. CHILD 44 Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, and Noomi Rapace star in this thriller set in Stalin’s Soviet Union about a disgraced member of the military police investigating a string of horrific child murders. Daniel Espinoza (Safe House) directs. (R) 137 minutes. CINDERELLA Disney’s live-action reboot isn’t quite as fresh as last year’s Maleficent. The production values are luscious, and director Kenneth Branagh imbues the story with humor, tension, and emotional complexity. But Linda Woolverton, who wrote Maleficent, comes from a generation of women who grew up chafing against the passivity of Disney cartoon heroines. Chris Weitz, the scriptwriter here, provides personalities for both his heroine, and her Prince, but he doesn’t have the same feminist fire; he’s content to tell the same old story in much the same old way. Still, what it lacks in innovation, the film makes up for in sheer loveliness, performed by an engaging cast. (PG) 112 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. DANNY COLLINS Al Pacino stars as a past-his-prime ’70s rocker with a chance to get a grip on his wayward life after he discovers an undelivered letter written to him 40 years ago by John Lennon. Annette Bening,

Hunted by the leader of the Erudite ruling class (Kate Winslet), they race to unlock the secret of their ﬁercely classbased society. Octavia Spencer, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, and Ansel Elgort co-star for director Robert Schwentke. (PG-13) 119 minutes. (Saved FGB) EX MACHINA Reviewed this issue. (R) 110 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen. FURIOUS 7 The untimely death of co-star Paul Walker midway through ﬁlming this installment was a blow to the series, but the action franchise roars on with this tale of a vendetta sworn against team leader Vin Diesel and his crew. Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, and Walker are featured. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell also join the cast. (PG-13) 137 minutes. HOME A lovable purple alien from another world and a hip earth girl with a suped-up car become friends and allies in this family adventure comedy from DreamWorks Animation. Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez provide voices. Tim

Johnson (Antz; Over the Hedge) directs. (PG) 94 minutes. MONKEY KINGDOM Hot on the heels (or paws) of the previous Disneynature films Earth, Chimpanzee, African Cats, and Bears, comes a new Earth Day doc about a monkey clan in South Asia. Tina Fey narrates for co-directors Mark Linfield and Alastair Fothergill. (G) 81 minutes. PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2 Kevin James is back aboard his Segway in this belated sequel to the 2009 comedy hit.

themselves stalked online by an evil entity using the account of their dead friend in this horror thriller from director Levan Gabriadzre. (R) 82 minutes. THE WATER DIVINER Russell Crowe makes his directing debut with this drama in which he stars as an Australian farmer who travels to Turkey in 1919, at the end of World War I, where all three of his sons were lost in the Battle of Gallipoli, to ﬁnd their remains and bring them home. Olga Kurylenko co-stars. (R) 111 minutes. WHILE WE’RE YOUNG Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts star in this new comedy from Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale; Frances Ha) as a “middle-aged” couple of New Yorkers (they’re in their 40s) on a collision course with upheaval and introspection when they are befriended by a hip, spontaneous younger couple (Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried). (R) 94 minutes. WOMAN IN GOLD Themes of art, justice, and family merge in Simon Curtis' compelling true story.The famous Gustav Klimt painting is the subject of a contest of wills between the Austrian government and one determined Austrian Jewish woman, repatriated to Los Angeles, who claims the painting was stolen from her family by the Nazis.The mighty Helen Mirren stars as Maria Altmann, seeking to recover the portrait of her beloved aunt. Tatiana Maslany is wonderful as her younger self, and flashbacks to elegant Old World Vienna deepen the drama. PG-13. 109 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

FOOD & DRINK so. Well, you have no more excuses. On Sunday, May 3, come on up to the Louise Cain Gatehouse at the UCSC Farm and join the free public tour of the world-renowned acres.

garden party at a Bonny Doon estate will feature the exotic cuisine of the legendary Jozseph Schultz, who will be using lots of colorful, edible flowers in the dishes. The May Day Flower Festival will also feature mind-blowing flower lore from Dr. Paul Lee, jazz and bossa nova music, and a tour of the Miller Estate, complete with flower-drying demos, and distillations of tinctures and essential oils. The event is 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, May 3, and will be the single most important grassroots excursion into

LAND RUSH One of the irrefutable pleasures of living in our slice of paradise is the presence of the atmospheric organic farm draped, as if by art direction, along the western ridges

and canyons of the UCSC campus. A visual inspiration as well as an innovative, hands-on teaching center for students and visitors, the UCSC Farm is nothing less than 33 acres of intriguing botanical experimentation, heirloom orchards and incredible aromas—all of this offering one of the finest possible views of the Monterey Bay shimmering in the distance. So, having said that, let me ask you: when was the last time you went up for a visit to this appealing collection of greenhouses, gardens, orchards, and fields? Aha! I thought

Dinner in Bloom

OK, so I’m kicking back, so to speak, from foot surgery, and unable to leave the house, drive the car, or comb the aisles of Shopper’s Corner and New Leaf for all of my favorite foods. I must send my people out to forage for me. But what did I feel like eating with so much lidocaine and valium in my system? Hmm. How about something creamy, chocolaty and cold? Exactly. Believe it or not, there is something nondairy (my brilliant endocrinologist advises against cow dairy products) that tastes fabulous, without a mega calorie count. It’s made by the Almond Dream folks and it’s called Dream Chocolate Indulgence Gelato. The great thing about this very tightly textured frozen dessert is that it doesn’t have that cloying, sweet finish that mars the ice cream experience— except for Katherine Stern’s (of La Posta Restaurant) stupendous olive oil gelato, but that’s another story. No, it isn’t as hedonistically rich as cream-based frozen desserts, but it is incredibly tasty and satisfies that “I need something pampering, dammit!” desire. My other craving was for something crunchy. For that, there are the new darlings of the pretzel world, the flat pretzel. God, I love these things. Sort of like a figure eight of dough that has been rolled over by an SUV and then salted. I ate many of them. Slowly.

y friend Emma from London came to visit for a few days in early March, so I took her wine tasting in the Santa Cruz Mountainsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a rare treat for her, as there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too many vineyards in the middle of London. Her visit reminded me how fortunate we are to live in this paradise of ultra-fresh produce, with grapes growing in wild profusion. After a day in Carmel and lunch at Mundaka, we headed back north to Aptos for one of Seascape Beach Resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine Wednesday events. A different winery is featured every week and tasting usually consists of four different varietals. A small tapasstyle plate of food is served as wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and all for a total of $18. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a deal. Eight of us met up for the tasting, and enjoyed wines from Hess Collection Winery. One wine that caught my attention, and which sells for a mere $15, was the Chardonnay 2013. Grapes are harvested from Shirtail Creek Vineyard in Monterey, where the maritime climate offers an exceptionally long growing season. Fermented and aged in stainless steel without the use of oak, this Chardonnay is crisp and refreshing with bright flavors and aromas of citrus and pear. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to drink, easy to pair with food, and easy to open, as it comes with a screw cap.

Popular Aptos breakfast and lunch spot opens for dinner BY AARON CARNES

ole in the Wall has been a popular breakfast and lunch spot in Aptos since it opened in 2010, but this month they started serving dinner, as well. We interviewed head waitress Kriston Magers about what diners can expect from evenings at Hole in the Wall, and she assured us it would be a totally different experience in every way.

KRISTON MAGERS: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a particular focus on the breakfast and lunch menu. That started out just to be American breakfast. And the people that own it are from El Salvador, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the chef and the owners. They wanted to bring that in. Little by little theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing more El Salvadorian dishes. We have a whole other sheet for breakfast and lunch where the El Salvadorian dishes come in. We do a pupusas combo with eggs. Pupusas have carnitas, beans, and cheese stuffed inside a homemade corn tortilla. When you order them, they start making them when you order them by hand. The combo comes with casamientoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which is red beans and riceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;queso fresco and fresh

sliced avocado and a special salsa for the pupusa and a little bit of cabbage.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the new dinner menu? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;coastal cuisine with an El Salvadorian flair.â&#x20AC;? There are names like â&#x20AC;&#x153;chile verde,â&#x20AC;? you know, Mexican sounding dishes, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting a flair on them thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all their own. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the mar y terra, which is surf and turf. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got grilled prawns, rock fish and skirt steak. We also have the mariscada. It has lobster tail and other seafood. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the Latin version of cioppino.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly seafood? Yes. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be nonseafood items, too. A few of the lunch items are on the dinner menu. If someone comes in and wants a burger, they can get that.

Why did you decide to start serving dinner? We had the patio open, which is much more seating. For summer, we thought it would be nice to be open at night with the heat lamps and have nice atmosphere with candles and music and maybe dancing. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on that. 257 Center Ave., Aptos. 685-0210.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WESAK TAURUS SOLAR FESTIVAL, BUDDHA BLESSES THE EARTH A most important celebration occurs Sunday, May 3—the Wesak Taurus Buddha Solar Festival/full moon. At the moment of the full moon the Buddha’s presence enters the Earth plane for eight minutes. He brings the Will-to-Good from the Father, which, when reaching humanity becomes goodwill (Mother Principle). Held yearly in a valley hidden deep within the Himalayas, the Wesak festival is prepared for for months in advance (beginning at Winter Solstice). On festival day, amidst pilgrims, disciples and Holy Ones gathered in the valley, the Buddha is invoked through movement, symbols and mantrams. At the moment of the full moon, hearing the words, “We are ready, Buddha, come,” the Lord of Illumination (brother of the Christ) appears in the clouds above the altar to emanate forth the will and purpose of God to earth. The blessing of the father is

then held in safekeeping for distribution at the June full moon Goodwill Festival. The day of Wesak (May 3, 8:42 p.m. West Coast) all disciples (east and west) place crystal vessels filled with pure water outside (in gardens, on rooftops, porches and steps) under the heavens. As the Buddha blesses the world, all waters, including waters within our bodies, are blessed. The Buddha is accompanied by the Forces of Enlightenment to illuminate humanity’s minds. Humanity then begins to express new constructive, productive and beneficial ways of the Art of Livingness. Wesak covers five days—two days (before) of dedicated preparation, the actual festival “Day of Safeguarding,” and two days (after) distributing goodwill (the NGWS to humanity). Join us in the Valley by reciting the Great Invocation, mantra of direction for humanity.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The group is most important for you now. It’s a continuing theme to ponder—your identity in groups, what you offer, expansion of self and others through group dynamics. Your future is formed by the answers to and awareness of these questions, both continuing to unfold. Here is a spiritual hint. Give all you have to the group called humanity (of which you are a part). Offer all abilities for humanity’s well-being … thus assuring yours. A blessing results.

You seek a greater knowledge of something deep and hidden so that a more inclusive view of the world can be perceived. You seek to understand other worlds, cultures, countries, places near yet far away. A visit to the Wesak Valley seems in order. Investigate what calls your attention. Next month, your interests will be fully engaged. Life in many ways becomes different than you expect. Give much to receive much. Remember this.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

The Wesak full moon blessing occurs each year in your sign. Throughout life you always seek illumination through all that you do, see, think, feel, research, help, heal and explore. Whether conscious of this or not (now you are), this theme (illumination) is your life’s purpose and task. As the Buddha blesses humanity you must also, through what you know, perceive, discover and realize. By sharing.

Be deeply observant of conversations and encounters. For the next several weeks they profoundly affect you, taking you deeper into self, shifting your points of view. You also will affect others in these ways. This places responsibilities upon you—to be kind, observant and careful of what you say and do, to reflect and pause before speaking, and to tend to finances (yours and others’) with special Saturnian care.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You might consider attending the Wesak festival in your dreams—where many experience the festival—through intention to participate. The Wesak festival is deeply linked with Mercury (messenger) and Venus (unites dualities), your soul ruler. Wesak is special for Gemini. The Mercury/ Venus celestial energies uplift you to the next state of awareness and spiritual consciousness. We’ll look for you at the festival in the Himalayas.

Clarification and explanations are your themes in coming weeks, to self and possibly others. Should you be concerned and anxious, seek counsel. Being alone with your thoughts is not the best now. Response and deep listening from another is most beneficial, helping you have perspective, overcome difficulties, and gain needed detached (dispassionate) views. You will ponder upon relationships. You consider what it means to love more.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

It’s best to maintain quiet mental contemplation in order that all the information, received at festivals’ time, can organize itself and setting into understanding. You will review the groups you belong to and see them as ways your intuition is further developed. You deeply cherish caring and nurturing others. Don’t hide at the Wesak Festival. Participate. It brings you into a deep embrace of the future world of power, love, wisdom and light.

Work, health, creativity, family and right communication are important these days. Each offers a level of transformation in your life. Know your work is wherever you find yourself— the perfect place for you now. In all communications plan carefully what you will (and will not) say. And why. Allow no criticism or separations—it hampers health. Praise vivifies health. Be kind to and praise everything. Begin with the self.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Choices made prior to now, concerning who you are in the world, your work, leadership abilities and how you affect others are being reformatted. You can actually reinvent yourself by calling upon hidden gifts and abilities, adapting to behaviors of those you admire, calling forth virtues useful for the coming new times. Relationships for you are always with people unlike yourself. They’re your shadow self.

Attempt to explain all decisions clearly and slowly. You may think you’re understood, but Aquarians usually aren’t. Try a bit of patience. Participate in the Wesak festival at home in the garden. Have fun with the Wesak energies. Listen to what others are saying with compassion and care. Aquarians are faster than the speed of light. During these times Aquarians are the light. Drink deeply into the Wesak waters.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Ceres, Persephone’s mother, is helping you focus on daily needs. This continues for many months. However, you find your mind turning to things far away, dreaming and envisioning a new life entirely. Perhaps it’s a new professional life, a place to study and learn, a new culture or religion. It feels larger than daily life. Observe if you’re interested in something of great importance that will determine your new future.

It’s good to reflect in depth what has occurred in the past six months, examining daily life, making plans, evaluating your next steps and what needs have arisen from a serious life change. Share deepest thoughts and feelings, allowing no pressure to build. The focus now is inward (Pluto retrograde). Have gratitude for parents and childhood (what was given, what was not)—all chosen by each of us before birth.
