]]> Mid-afternoon, I sit at the table with my guitar, wandering through a song. My baby Ronan, in his playpen right by my side, reaches out and slaps my guitar. I say to him, “Be gentle with the guitar, Ronan, gentle.”

I play. I sing. I wander through rhyming words, making meaning in song. I sing:

You may find yourself new, and if you do, you may like it…

Ronan starts crabbing and carrying on, so I sing to him:

Please help me, all the way through, ’cause if you do, it may happen to you too.

Find yourself new.

He was receptive. Ronan is an intelligent being. I explained to him that I write and sing songs — if I do the work that is meaningful to me, I can enjoy being present and playful. We can enjoy being together a whole lot more by doing what we love. When we live in harmony and listen to each other, we can be together.

Wandering inside worked for both of us. He lifted me with inspiration and understanding, and I helped him settle down. I feel uplifted and supported with my family in on my wanderings.
