I wrote Lullaby Haze during the crazy first months after my daughter was born, in a wild state of exhaustion and joy. It was a surreal experience and state of being. The piece depicts the various emotions that tangle together and interrupt each other suddenly in those first months. In no order: joy, panic, gratitude, marvel, terror, peace, inner joy, fear, hope, sadness, inadequacy, excitement, anger, amazement, disbelief, and overwhelming love.
