I think when I'm in nature, it helps me realize how small I am. When you're like in your stuff, everything is like amplified and full on and when I step out into nature, just be in awe and be really present with the moment. At the theater I find that when I really slow down and get on the floor and present with him, that's when he is a delight. One thing as a mom, I am just discovering that I am playing more and more and singing more than I've ever sang in my whole life. Maybe it's because I'm completely exhausted and just goofy, but really allowing myself to just let go and be present in the moment with him, it's such a gift and it's so freeing at the same time.

Mothering... so so so heart opening... so utterly transforming (omg I'm going to cry now)... remembering when mine were little... This is such a beautiful, authentic capture of the transformative beauty of mothering.
