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

Baby Info
Brian and Melissa are making a Wish List on Amazon for the baby. Some of you asked me what they needed, so this will help. The Brendan's Baby Registry items can also be found at Babies R Us and Toys R Us retail stores. If some of you have suggestions about things they might need that have been really helpful or haven't worked well for you, please let us know. Thanks!
I went with them to their last Lamaze class and got to see the birthing room. This is really exciting! It won't be long now. Melissa is 34 weeks along and doing really well. Things are so much better now than they used to be. Grandchildren - wow!!
