Quiet days
I'm not sure if I ever felt as at peace as I do now.
I'm at home, in Johannesburg, after weeks on the road, on stages, and in hotel rooms, that all end up looking the same. I finally breathe in the air of our garden, with the sun filtering through the trees, and the birds singing, as the only musical background. I don't need anything else. I'm exactly where I want to be.
Today is one of those days where everything feels in its place. My
beloved is by my side, the house is filled with laughter, endless conversations with my family, and hugs that feel like home. The guitar rests in its corner, because, for the first time in a long time, I'm not in a hurry to compose or rehearse.
Perhaps it's because of this little miracle growing inside me, that my heart feels so light.
I just entered my second trimester, and although it still seems like a dream, every day I begin to believe it a little more. My body changes, and with it, my way of seeing the world. Everything becomes more real, more intense... and simpler at the same time.
I find myself daydreaming, imagining that future that looms ever closer. I imagine how the new little voice in our lives, will be like, about the first lullabies we'll sing to our baby, and the songs that are already beginning to write themselves in my head. I never thought inspiration could come from such a deep and sweet place.
For now, I let myself be carried away by the calm of these days. The endless days on the road, the stage lights, the rush will return... but today... today, all I want is this piece of heaven, this house full of love, and the certainty that the best is yet to come.
