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

Week
Brendan will be a week old tomorrow. I'm going to Dillard's to have a free make-over from Clinique this afternoon. That's what I use, so I'm sure they will have all kinds of new products they think I should have; however, I'll just let them write it on my card since I have what I need now. After that I'm going to see Brendan for the first time since Sunday at the hospital. I'll get to see his room and how he's taken over the whole house. The sleepless little family is making it fine and are going to the pediatrician today. I called Brian to see if they need anything else when I come over, and he said they were getting ready to take Brendan to the vet. Old habits! I laughed so hard! He said that was the second time he'd said that. Too funny!
Thanks for the messages on his picture site and the emails. New babies bring such hope, don't they?
