I'm floating somewhere in the Bowieverse at the moment, in the midst of a stint of "listening". I'm not quite ready to emerge and tell you what I've heard, felt, and found. But I did encounter this little nugget on my journey and I thought I'd share it with you in the meantime!

I encountered this brilliant illustration as a result of my immersion into the Bowieverse. You can find the original here, along with an explanation of the Bowies depicted. I must admit that it doesn't fully agree with my own perception of the Bowie Timeline but it's pleasing nonetheless. Also, it was created in 2011, so I suppose the artist can be forgiven for naming the final Bowie in her depiction "about to retire Bowie". Clearly his 2013 release of The Next Day stands as proof that His Bowieness isn't quite finished with us yet.
To anyone who has read about my experience with Space Oddity, thank you most sincerely! I am in a (mostly) happy place right now and I promise to return soon with more of my impressions. These things can't be rushed.
You must also know that it has been difficult for me to transition from Space Oddity into a new era of the Bowie Timeline. You see, I'm possessed by the soul of Major Tom. He comes with me everywhere I go. It's all a bit tragic, really. He had some heart and gut-wrenching things to tell me while watching Gravity recently.
And now, it's time to fade back in to my current place in space and time, and resume my listening. Until I return...
