I put Bobby to bed most nights. During our routine, I read him 2-3 books, then turn out the light and sing to him...in the dark...while we're rocking. I can usually stay coherent for the five or so minutes it takes before I ask him if he's ready to get in his crib, but sometimes I get drawn into a wonderful sleepiness and I begin to dream. All while I'm still singing.
I know on previous nights, I have slurred the words to my songs like some sort of alcoholic mother, but the other night, I awoke from an in-between state of drowsiness and complete dreamland realizing that I've just said the word "transient" while singing Jesus, Name Above All Names. I am guessing my Western image of Jesus with a beard and sandals led me dream about homelessness. Perhaps?
