Thank you, Marianne. Your story of the angel speaks to me of the blessing of synchronicity. My mother Mariane, professor of English literature (Jon Ossoff’s in high school no less), born poor in the Deep South, whose father went away to war when she was 3 yet managed to go to college, then graduate school, who surrounded me in a halo of Thoreau, classical music, and social consciousness as a child, seems to be readying herself for the next plane via a deepening of dementia over these past 3 weeks. I think her heart is broken. The synchronicity of your post encourages me to carry on her legacy in a way I had not thought of before. Appreciate you so much and your fierce voice in this world.

Pray in the morning and kick ass in the afternoon! Encouraging people to see that our inner power through mindfulness is our greatest ability to help change and recover our world from addictions /substance misuse. Substance use disorder is a but a symptom of our largely insane nation.

Loved:

Paint an angel for every machine made…

Thank you as always Marianne for

Kicking ass

Thanks for this! Once again, we’re at an inflection point where the psychological and spiritual dangers present in the advance of Artificial Intelligence along with an authoritarian takeover of our own country must be faced. We must all “paint” - and become - the very angels to counter the dangers at stake. 💕

I discovered the Pre-Raphaelites by 'coincidence' while visiting Oxford, England roughly 30 years ago and have loved them ever since. This article -- “Every time they build a machine, I will paint an angel!”-- is just what my spirit needed. Thank you, Marianne.

We seem to be the virtues of angels in the becoming. Here there is courage to live, love, fearlessly dare with heart to better. Thank you. Love will bring to color an Angel for every machine they make. We must all add our color and re-divine this crazy world with the reimagined inspiration only compassion love intelligence can bring.

Thank you, Marianne! We just started a women’s group last night. And part of what we’re doing is making each other accountable for morning prayer time. Tell us what to do and we will help you kick ass! Thank you so much for your inspiration.

Sorry not to be talking about Art. Love this piece but I JUST happened on a YouTube video of Bernie Sanders “ Dismantles Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos.” I am a Scot I live in Scotland but I feel a panic coming on and I just want to write this. As most of my friends often don’t want to talk politics I often feel alone in my panic. So thanks for this platform. I don’t do social media, or Amazon because I hate what they’ve become so these types of platforms are invaluable for me. 💕I love to follow the passion of those are a like minded. Jeez this world is getting scarier by the day eh…

Thank you for always leading from your heart Marianne, sharing your Angelic inspiration today.

We recognise how you were lead and moved by Angels.

We had a similar experience and felt a strong calling to write , quite our jobs and worked with all our heart on this book called Angels in New York!

"We are living in a revolutionary era. times of war and epidemics they are around us, inviting fear and a wave of pessimism.

At the same time, in the uncharted territory of this moment, we have the power to shape a new society.

In the midst of all the noise and chaos we can start a powerful Lovelution.

Close the chapter of sacrifice and usher a new era defined by freedom, connection and sharing.

You and I have our own unique role to fulfill in this grand game so step up to the plate. Follow your impulses and let your passions lead you to your destiny.

Enjoy the journey;

we are right beside you, holding your hand.

Angels are eager to assist us all.

Gabrielle Janine

And we will step up to the plate and call all angels to assist us all."
