The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Brunch
We had a wonderful meal at Ellendale's, and It's always fun to spend time with Brian and Melissa. They gave me the Special Edition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD. It has lots of extra stuff on it. I'm looking forward to watching it.
Melissa is at the end of her first trimester and is showing a bit. She's taking really good care of herself. They tell them so much more now than they did us about all of that. We talked about all the combinations their baby could inherit. It's so exciting!
