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

Birthdays/Easter/Passover
Yesterday I went to Kathy's for her husband Mark's, daughter Kari's, and sister-in-law Vicki's birthdays and the Easter egg hunt. Mother spent the day with Mae, and Sally went with me to Kathy's. Mark's mother, stepfather, brother and his family were there, too. We had a good time and enjoyed seeing everyone. With grandchildren it's interesting how they are with attention at various times. Yesterday Luke wanted me to sit by him, watch him do things, and give him my attention. He's 4 and so cute. Kari was 8 Saturday, and Kelsey was 10 in February. They hid plastic eggs that open and had prizes, candy, and money in some of them. It brought back memories of Easters past as a child at my grandmother's when I'd get sick from too many Easter eggs and when we'd go to Mother's with Brian, Amy, and Andy. Now, full-circle, I'm a grandmother. Where did the time go?
