Thank you for that inspiring thought, David! Our children give us a new set of eyes through which to experience everything. I'm constantly trying to remind myself to enjoy their curiosity and creativity--that's one reason I try to record some tiny bits of their lives in this blog, to stay aware and not wrapped up in myself all the time.
I sing in four languages, crossing borders with acoustic jazz, boleros, salsa and samba. I'm a songwriter, mother, recovering magazine editor, triathlete and former auto mechanic.

When I looked at your son's wide open eyes, my first thought was: "there is a future".
Our kids, opening to the world, discovering it, questioning it and, hopefully, if they do better than us, improving it...
