about

THE PROMISE KEEPERS celebrates all the wonderful courageous artists, entrepeneurs, priestesses, witches, alchemists, teachers, healers, and weirdos, who have found the courage to follow their true callings, sharing their medicine, their gifts, their unique perspectives. People such as Rupi Kaur, who wrote this:

'your art
is not about how many people like your work
your art
is about
if your heart likes your work
if your soul likes your work
it's about how honest
you are with yourself
and you
must never
trade honesty
for relatability

- to all you young poets'

lyrics

I believe you when you smile and say
there is a place worth going
and you'll show the way
I know it's not a sugar-coated lie
'cause you held my hand through the fire
and even helped me die

I'll walk beside you in a new red dress
with a cloak and hood for my 'no' and 'yes'
'No' to the bullies and the thieves
'Yes to the magic in this timeless air I breathe

That whispers like a lover
Same one I know kisses you
on your feet and on your forehead
on your mouth and belly too

And it keeps on saying "I know you"
Relentless singing of a wild cuckoo
Relentless love, relentless mercy
no exceptions to its rule
just patience, patience
woven through the fabric of the fool
of this fool, this brave fool

Bright angels all come circling round
the dripping honey we found underground
in a hive behind an altar
the Queen said we could bring some back
if we promised to play
if we promised to say
the childlike things that just might save the day
oh they just might save the day
they just might save the day
