Celebrities and Their Angels
Synopsis:
Celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Bishop Tutu sketch their idea of an angel and write about their belief, or not, in angels.
Holly Near wrote, in part:
We are life at its best and its worst
We don't need to look away or above
We are the universe singing
We are all that there is
We are angels in need of love.
Book Excerpt:
...Angels, like parables adn fine poetry, speak in many layers of meaning and mystery, tryng to express the inexpressible. If we ignore them, our lives are poorer.
Author Comment:
The response from celebrities to my request for angel drawings was surprising. The first sketch to arrive was from Oprah Winfrey followed quickly by one from famed vintner Robert Mondavi (his angel held a bunch of grapes) and then Burt Reynolds and Senator Barbara Boxer and Brigitte Bardot. I was approaching my deadline when I was asked for text as well as drawings. The project was filled with angst toward the end. Having to depend on others for content is not anything I want to do again.
