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.
