Child Is Born
This final mirror gives us the chance to reflect on what is most precious in
life. Thad Jones' composition had touched my heart long before I first heard
the words, while on tour with Dizzy in Maine (with my daughter who was 5 months
old at the time). I use this ballad in all my presentations and keynotes, as
a way of connecting with the entire human being who came in as audience and
is transformed to participant in the process.
Those of us who work with children, or work with those who support their growth
often neglect to nurture ourselves. The peace and hope of this tune is sent
your way, that you may find renewal and resilience.
