Excerpt from Chapter One, “Grow, Grow” in MARIGOLD by Will Clarke. Reprinted with permission from the author.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n *language advisory*<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I talk to Angels.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And boy, do they talk back. I\u2019m telling you, Angels are full of opinions whether you want to hear them or not. Once you get them talking, it\u2019s hard to get them to shut up. They\u2019re always like, \u201cMarigold. Girl. You sure you should be drinking that whole pint of Fireball?\u201d Or \u201cMarigold, see that guy over there? The one in that Spiritual Gangster T-shirt. Go talk to him. He was your milkmaid in a past life.\u201d And I\u2019m like, \u201cAre you guys freaking kidding me? I\u2019m not going over there and saying that!\u201d And my Angels are all like, \u201cSuit yourself, girlfriend. Your loss.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As amazing as talking to Angels sounds, I\u2019m nothing special. Really, anybody can talk to their Angels if they believe hard enough. Fact is, divine beings are as real as atoms and gravity. And just because you can\u2019t see them doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t exist, or they aren\u2019t more powerful than you could ever imagine. There are plenty of invisible forces that are here to guide our planet\u2019s evolution\u2014Angels being just one of them, and my Angels don\u2019t care if you believe in them or not. But most people I meet<\/span><\/span><\/span> think this is batshit, and they like to make fun of me, and sometimes that hurts my feelings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitches in prison could be real mean, especially with the name- calling. They used to call me \u201cAngel Humper\u201d and stuff. At first, the girls in my cell thought I was insane for talking to my Angels all the time. Tiffany and Samantha would be like, \u201cMarigold, after all the shit you been through, you still think you got stupid Angels looking after you?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I would say, \u201cFuck you. Don\u2019t call my Angels stupid unless you want something real bad to happen.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then Tiffany and Samantha would shut their ass faces for like a second or two because deep down\u2014maybe not on a conscious level but on a soul level\u2014they knew Angels are not to be trifled with. So then Tiffany and Samantha would say sorry and go back to reading their People Magazine <\/i>or whatever dumb shit Fifty Shades Of Grey <\/i>book they got from the library. And then my Archangel, Uriel, would remind me that \u201cKindness is the currency of God,\u201d and so he would compel me to smile at them and say:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cLook, you got Angels, too.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And then Tiffany and Samantha would stop being dicks because everyone loves to talk about their own Angels when they find out they got them. Might not like to talk about my Angels <\/i>or my dreams, <\/i>but when Tiffany and Samantha found out they got their own Angels and that I can see and talk to them, then they were all like, \u201cMarigold, what\u2019s my Angel\u2019s name? What\u2019s he saying? What\u2019s he look like? Is he sexy? When\u2019s he gonna bring me a man?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I was all like, \u201cAngels are not even like that. First off, they don\u2019t have junk. So, no, they aren\u2019t sexy. And Angels aren\u2019t freaking Tinder. So go find your own man.\u201d Pisses me off how people don\u2019t know shit about Angels. Which is real sad because <\/span>Angels are our most important ally in our fight for survival on this Earth Plane, and everybody\u2019s got at least one who\u2019s been assigned to them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n How\u2019s that old poem go?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cEvery blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, \u2018Grow, grow.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s from The Talmud, which is basically the Bible. So if a stupid little blade of grass has an Angel helping it, you can bet you have at least one looking after you. I personally have twenty- two. Sometimes, when shit gets real, I\u2019ve had like thousands surrounding me, lifting me up, and singing my name. Let\u2019s be real clear, though: Angels are not like these cute little baby butts flying around. They are fierce. Like, they do not play around. And you do not want to make fun of an Angel or piss it off.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
