Thank you Marianne. Just as I feel like giving up on the whole world, you remind me of the possibility of a miracle. Your intelligence, eloquence and vision inspire me. Also glad you are feeling better. Keeping you in my prayers. With love and gratitude, Diana
I would add a reminder that we are all already wired to be good, kind, loving beings. I would always include the fact that love is indestructible. Love is more powerful than anything else and it is a persistent current, force, and underlying- if not overlying- presence in human beings and in the planet.
We do Love. It is our nature. And to reinforce this Truth in every and any discussion of present trends, tendencies and terrors, is critical to a favorable outcome because it reminds us to see 'solutions' outside of 'sciences'.
I have total trust and complete faith in the loving Spirit that breathes through all and Its ultimate triumph in restoring a universe that is harmonious within Itself. Love will survive the end of the current existences as we know them, and a new iteration of It will emerge. That is ok with me. It is Love, sweet, purposeful, vibrant, compassionate, harmonious , LIFE PRODUCING LOVE Itself that will manifest again if we destroy its present forms of expression. LOVE is Eternal and Infinite and exists outside of form. The forms will pass away, but Love remains to bring forth Life again.
I believe in the universal law of attraction. And that we all want what we want.
One day stopped at a traffic light I was shocked when I saw a sign on the back of the vehicle … “we are here to fuck things up”. I guess it is clearly and boldly stated what that person wants.
So if I want the world to be peaceful; loving; free; caring; compassionate; joyful I must believe and declare that.
I must not only put “my sign” on the back of my “car” but on the front too.
“We’re here to love; feel joy; show compassion; to care; to live in peace; and to be free.”
Spot on. Thank you so much, Marianne. You’re light years ahead of the world’s leaders. We all need to change to save not only democracy, but humanity. May you live to be heard by everyone. Love to you. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your heart and brilliant mind. Your life lessons are the best. You write and makes me feel that it is comming from a God chosen close friend.
Marianne. U r truly a blessing. Your raw truth always brings with it much needed clarity and pin-pointed focus. Much love and gratitude to u and your light
It's logical to feel that as individuals we can't do much about some of the worst things but to remember that as a collective, our love, kindness, compassion and integrity we are holding the world up. We start with ourselves, our immediate circle, our community, our country and our world and small actions are very big. Thank you Marianne for helping us articulate our fears and our hopes.
So much YES to this spot on articulation Marianne ~ thank you so very much for your fierce commitment and undying devotion to radical truth telling and to holding our torch - rallying our knowing - and spearheading our momentum to act
Marianne - thank you for continuing to hand me bricks. I'm sorry I am needing so many. Please order a few more pallets.
Certainly a paradigm shift is needed right now. It will be radically disorientating for nearly everyone, as was the twilight of pastoralism in the birthing of the industrial age.
Some people whine that they're required to mask up, socially distance, or vaccinate. Such small inconveniences necessary for the greater good will be nothing compared to the sacrifices needed to save the species.
Please keep the bricks coming. I think I'm beginning to see the bigger picture...
Marianne's insights are on track. We must come together as a human collective to quickly restore or reform our failing governmental, social, and ecosystems. I see a lot of denial within folks--just hoping things will get better somehow but 'somehow' will only happen when we participate and no longer accept the cultural status quo in the U.S. and abroad. It's exhausting work but for those of us who still think reverence for life is paramount--well, it's truly all that matters!
When I see only 110 hearts, it's dis-heartening. I know you have more followers than that. It inspired me and that is where I will start. It is, after all, the only place we can start.
Amy, I think many people are more distressed than they care to admit with all the chaos surrounding us while trying to cope with their own personal lives. It's super challenging without a doubt! It's even hard trying to decide where to place one's focus: on many crises or pick just the biggest on desparately needing resolution! Peace.
The analogy to personal transformation is useful. If the nation were a single person, it would be an entrenched split personality. Generally, that requires long hours of therapy. How to accelerate the process? Perhaps an intervention. That requires leadership. Not to be broadcast further, but today, I suggested to Elizabeth Warren’s staff that they evaluate the pros/cons/risks/benefits of having Senator Warren challenge Trump to a public debate. (As an author of a book on virtues and having an international law background, I applied to the Biden Administration for an ambassadorship to a Nordic nation. The goal is, hopefully, to encourage a more enlightened direction for the world.)
Brilliant Marianne. Thank you for your piercing and clear insight. I’ve never known things to be so bad. Death doulas and birth doulas needed. Truth here. Big Love to you

Thank you for this truth. May God bless you and may we all have the courage to challenge what is not working for goodness.

You are right on about the whole political system being corrupt, Marianne. Greedy corporations have all the control in Washington.
We must end Citizens United! How can I help?
I wish everyone would read this and take compassionate action. ♥️🙏🌻

Yes, Joan. I like this poem my friend posted as my new mantra..."The elders have sent me to tell you
that now is like a rushing river,
and this will be experienced in many different ways.
There are those who would hold onto the shore...
there is no shore. The shore is crumbling.
Push off into the middle of the river.
Keep your head above the water
look around to see
who else is in the river with you
and celebrate."
~Choquash
We will celebrate and find a new shoreline!
