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

New Feature
I've added a photo album that's easier to access now. You don't have to register to see these. There are two recent photos of Brendan and Melissa I took when I visited them Tuesday. Earl is letting me use his old digital camera since he bought a new fancy-schmancy Nikon. It's amazing too. The one he's letting me borrow is a good one, too, since Earl is after all a professional. This has resulted in many phone calls to him asking a bunch of questions. The part that's going to really take a while is learning to alter them on a photo-editing program. I'm making progress but have a really long way to go just to be adequate.
Grandchildren are the greatest!!
