EP#26 - Every Grain of Scarlet Rivera

Thank you for that, Scarlett.

So that's your choice, Every Grain of Sand.

What does that song mean to you?

Oh, so well, I see my own deep, dark, deep, dark story in it.

And my long, long struggle to get out of it and breaking things that have held me back.

And it's also very spiritual, even on a profound environmental level, that every grain of sand is sacred.

The hero's journey, in a way, is kind of what I...

The

hero's journey.

Yeah.

I wanted to ask you, Scarlett, anyway, so it's so interesting that you've chosen this song.

Is there a spiritual, clearly there is a spiritual element to your life, and a further question is, how does that relate to your creativity? Are they completely interlinked, would you say?

They are completely interlinked, as well as magic and music are connected.

But if you don't believe in magic, you won't see

it

anywhere.

And if you do, you will begin to connect the dots of magical things.

I believe in the sacredness of the natural world, of plants, trees, animals.

I've always felt that from childhood.

And I've had a heightened sense of intuition or a sixth sense.

where I hear music and whispers that guide me and, you know, in a spiritual way, one direction or another.

Is there any particular religions in any sense? I just ask because you talk about that connected nature of everything, every living being.

And I talk a lot on the podcast about Buddhism.

I sense a slight Buddhist aspect there.

I don't know if that's true.
