I don't know why I waited so long, but finally I'm posting this track after it sitting for months in a folder. 
Some of my friends know that 2025 has been...a bizarre, often hurtful, and ridiculous year. And of course, that's just me - never mind the state of the world we're living in. I wrote this piece not long after a mass shooting at a queer bar in Colorado Springs in 2022. I originally composed it on ukulele and then transferred it to harp, although my Sufi community adored it as it was. I have shared it mostly in labyrinth/walking meditation spaces, but last night I shared it at an open mic. A few of my "Rainbow Nomads" (ask me) were there, and it affected them very deeply, enough that they begged me to post the recording I had. I'm doing it for them, and for all Rainbow and Spiritual Nomads from here to the other end of the world. It's a heavy thing to be in love.

In the tavern of ruin

Ave Maris Stella (2nd Selam)

Come Down, O Love Divine (3rd Selam)

What an incredible blessing to hear everyone join me at the end there. I did not know if they were going to be willing! I had not really played either of these tunes in a full Sufi setting yet and "Promise Keeper" is a MOOD. But they got it, because of course. :)

Al Majid/Promise Keeper (4th Selam)
