Marianne Williamson Instagram – What a delight to receive a call from the great jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan offering to play at my New Mexico events this week. Last night I spoke in Santa Fe and tonight I will be in Albuquerque. Stanley’s gorgeous music took us to such deep place with ourselves. Later he told me that he feels he is doing with music what I’m doing with politics. If I’m expressing a fraction of the beauty that he is, then I’m grateful. Enthusiastic crowds and standing ovations are much appreciated and also bittersweet at this point, as you can imagine. I’m clear that continuing to campaign has been the right decision, as we must have the deeper conversations despite the shenanigans of the political media industrial complex. People can still vote for our agenda in every state left where I’m still on the ballot: New Mexico, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho, Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Maryland, and DC. While those votes won’t win the nomination, they continue to impact the ethers and shine light on the fact that millions of people in America still wish to forge a better way. I lived in New Mexico 50 years ago for about a year and a half, and it holds a special place in my heart. A lot has changed in 50 years, but the energy has not. There is an enchantment here and I’m feeling it now the way I felt it then. One day during that time, I was traveling with a friend and up in the sky we saw something incredible: a cloud formation of an undeniable, humongous spread eagle flying across the entire sky. No other clouds. If only we had had a camera … but the picture has stayed with me all these years. It was the most extraordinary thing. It reminds me to believe in what’s possible. At a time of such sadness, with so many hearts unnecessarily torn, let’s hold on to the sounds of a beautiful guitar, images of clouds that seem to hold messages, and our prayers for a better world.
