This Examen Prayer is specifically designed for use with children of Key Stage 1 and 2 age.

At the end of your day, find a comfortable place, and remind yourself that God is there with you.

Now look back over your day. Were you at home? Were you at school? Were you somewhere else? 

What made you happy today? Did somebody say or do something that made you feel good? Someone in your family, a friend, a teacher or someone else? Did you say or do anything that made you feel good? Was there something that you really enjoyed? Whatever made you feel happy today, thank God for those things now. 

Did anything make you sad today? Maybe something that happened, or that someone said or did? Did you do something that made you feel unhappy? Maybe there is something you want to say sorry for? Whatever made you feel sad or unhappy today, remember that you are precious to God and that nothing ever changes that. 

Now think about your day tomorrow. Is there anything you would like to ask God to help you with, or anything you are worried about, or anything that you need? Talk to God about it now and ask God to be with you through your day. 

Together let’s say the Glory Be.

Finally, this is "Stay Strong (Extended Collaborative Version B)" that completes our joint album "Again and Again" (2025), containing extended collaborative versions from tracks in my own most recent album "Again" (2025). I composed my part, "Stay Strong", improvising on my Akai MPK mini keyboard connected to Logic Pro, outside in my garden in the warm evening of 12 July 2025, and arranged, recorded and mixed my track the same evening. Roberto B proposed this version B on 13 July 2025 (arranged and mixed by him in MAGIX) of what we also have as the suggested by me version A, published here earlier. The collaboration was released here on SoundCloud in the late evening (in Europe) on 11 September 2025. The whole album, Again and Again will be released in seconds here (in the reverse order of the tracks that have been appearing over the past year here on SoundCloud).

The artwork cover for our album "Again and Again" (2025) and all tracks in it uses a painting by Roberto B titled "Horloge - Le Temps" of 20 November 2024 annotated by Alex M in Mac OS Preview on 21 February 2025 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

8 April 2018

A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive.
