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

Awwww
Brian and Melissa found out today that the baby is a boy! Now we can use specific pronouns. Brian was brought up mostly around women, and now he'll have a son. How neat!! It's exciting to anticipate his personality and what he'll look like. I've had the feeling for a while that it might be a boy. I kept getting this image of a goofy, sweet, little boy with a younger sister who would roll her eyes and shake her head about him. It's a likely scenario. We'll enjoy this experience first, but Brian said if they have another one who is a boy, it will be fun to watch two brothers grow up together. What a thrill this is!!
