Written in the first month of the COVID-19 pandemic, "I'll Meet You There" is a series of songs about the journey towards living a more equanimous life. The album is conceptually based around Rumi's "A Great Wagon" and explores lessons, experiences, and meditations that point towards a 'middle way' in life. Two short meditations separate the album into three parts, considering the suffering inherent in life, and the suffering brought on through reactivity. The final track is a lovingkindness prayer.
As Rumi said, "There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."
