Tilt-A-Whirl (v1-rough- no resolution

Yesterday I watched a video
Of my eight-year-old son as a baby
Thirty seconds of his eyes trying to stay open
Fighting the coming sleep

With each new version of our children
I forget the ones before
Their eyes lighting up as they squawk
Their three or four words thrilling us
As they learned to talk

As parents we feel grief and joy at once
It's like a Tilt-A-Whirl
The thrill of growth rides
With the loss of what once was

My son is now eight
Sometimes makes his own smoothies
I smile at the independence
But realize someday he won't need us

I'm at my best when I live in acceptance
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow to come
I can re-live or pre-stress
But my children are laughing, so I'll do that later.

Summer 10 Sessions #1

 The "Summer 10" sessions

10 songs or more


Kickoff

5.22.25


My Mathematical Mind
Ancient Light (1)
In Bloom
Breakfast in America
Petrichor (2)
Let Me Out Of This Town
Change
Mr. Bellows
Lies
Pharaohs
Assassin


1- I'm With Her
2- Artemis

So for summer (until Labor Day), I'm going to do more frequent but shorter playlists. Thoughts on this one- Petrichor never needs to be on a playlist again. I think it's a bit of an odd mix, but got some more obscure stuff in here.
