Yo, Graywolf here, I remember, over a decade ago now, hearing Karen playing around on the piano, testing chords and melody, searching for the song that was patiently waiting to come through.

Suddenly, she sang the words,
Don’t listen to what they say, pray your own way, every day, every single day…”

I was struck dumb—paralysed by a sweet blend of excitement, elation and profound respect, all quickly dissolving to the burning desire to immediately know all the lyrics so I could sing along!! It turns out I would have to do wait (and participate) until all the words had been written before I could satisfy that desire.

So, in shared excitement, we sat together singing, playing, and writing until the rest of this profound song had manifested—which I believe was about 15 minutes. You know it is a direct message from the universe when they come through like that.

This song is titled ‘Everyday’ and its core message—play and pray your own way, everyday—has become a mantra for us and one of Crow Circus’ core messages. A universal seed from which so much personal power, acceptance and connection, with self and other, can sprout.

Sitting here tapping away all these years later, I feel we are only really beginning now to breathe into what it means to live that mantra. Please share with us in the comments how you play and pray, it is in the sharing that the next level of transformation and healing begins.
