In the flurry of personal life I have been a little lax about my blogging. But at least one of my personal distractions may have something to teach us about sound and sense.
I am pregnant!
Obviously I am filled with all kinds of feelings about being a mother and my identity in general. And I strive to fully comprehend what my body and my baby are going through by paying close attention to everything I can sense. My pregnancy calendar tells me that my baby can sense me, too! About midway through pregnancy the baby can hear the mother's heart, stomach, and her voice.
I have become very aware of how I use my voice and what my tone conveys. When I yell at my cats (sometimes they deserve it) I feel a little bad. But when I sing while I am doing chores, I imagine that I am bonding with my baby. I am telling it something about myself.
Sometimes it's not about what you are saying, it's about how you say it. And sometimes the only way to say something is out loud.
