"Everything Is Magic, Until You Think It's Not"

  


So for those of you that aren't familiar with the band known as Cloud Cult and their singer/songwriter Craig Minowa, this is one of their songs.  The title of this post is just a line in their song "No Hell", which is from their album "The Seeker."  (Perhaps a good hint as to why I've come to love them.)

Anyways, I first learned about them from this interview by Krista Tippett's OnBeing podcast.  You can listen to that if you want to get a nice sense of and introduction to the band (and hear three of their songs if you play the unedited version - it's better, trust me). You may also learn something about me, and perhaps realize why I was so drawn to them.  As Craig says, "our supporters are seekers."

There is so much about them, on so many different levels, that make them so meaningful to me.  I hope you like this song, the band, Craig, and maybe, see the depth and the hopefulness of their message.

You can also find them on Patreon.  They are totally independent of the music industry, and do a great job of staying in touch with their Patreons (in fact, that is how they made it through the pandemic so well; that, and a very dedicated fan base).  

May you enjoy their music, philosophy, mysticism, and hopeful message.
