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

T-Day
We had a good day at Mother's. The turkey turned out fine, and the rest of the food was delicious! We played a couple of new games Brian has, and that was fun. Melissa looks and feels really good. We're all so excited about the baby. Mae came which always adds to the holidays. She was doing really well and got around with her walker. I didn't plan my sleeping and turkey cooking times well, and am really sleepy. This might be the night I go to bed before 10. I've been sort of watching Faith Hill but can't keep my eyes open. Hope all of you had a good day and a Happy Thanksgiving!
