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

Happy Day!
Brendan Durham Cooksey was born at 8:11 this morning at Summit Hospital weighing in at a whopping 10 lbs 12 oz and measuring 21 1/2" long!!! He and his parents Melissa and Brian are doing fine. Mother, Paula, and I waited at the nursery window to watch Brian walk in with him and spent time with them in the room. It was just wonderful and such a relief for everything to go well and for them to be healthy and feeling good.
It's hard to know who he looks like now since it will be a while before he looks like himself. Right now his hair is sort of chestnut brown and of course his eyes are blue. His head is 15" and so is his chest. Brian said he's a column. Brendan looks like he's two or three months old based on his size and how developed he is. He holds his head up and is alert.
Two years ago I didn't know I had grandchildren. Then I found out I have three. Now I have four - two of each! It's great! Now I just have to figure out how to get pictures on here or that you can link.
