I was a little surprised this particular video was scheduled for release on July 4. It wasn’t intentional, just how the date/track release happened to fall. But it feels strangely appropriate. Not celebratory, no, but an earnest query: In a time of othering and blaming when we seem hellbent on hurting each other, it’s time to live into difficult questions. I wrote this poem after listening to a conversation between two men–one in Gaza, the other in Israel. This is the fourth track on RISKING LOVE, a spoken-word album made in collaboration with stunning guitar player Steve Law, and it explores how we might fall more deeply in love with the world as it is, even when that seems impossible. The video is made by the incomparable Holiday Mathis. “Into the Questions” is available for download as a single on Spotify, iTunes, and more. The album releases July 18, 2025, on all platforms and is available for purchase on Band Camp, https://rosemerrywahtolatrommer.bandcamp.com/
