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

To us!
Mother, Brian, Melissa, Brendan, and I went to Ellendale's for birthday brunch. This was the first day I've had their omelets, and they are delicious! They make them right in front of you and have so many ingredients that the possibilities are amazing. I'll have them everytime I go there for brunch now. I'd like to go again soon. Anyone want to go too?
We have a fall break for the next two weeks. We get two weeks off after every quarter and have finished the first one. Semester break is at Christmas and spring break will be in March. Not bad. I hope I get a lot done during this time off. I have plans, appointments, and obligations. On the way to school Thursday morning I was involved in a fender-bender. A boy changed lanes and his right rear bumper clipped my left front bumper on the corner. His bumper was bent out and the hole in my bumper flared out toward the front of my car, so it's apparent that he cut in too short instead of my pulling out in front and into his truck. No one was hurt, and our vehicles are driveable without much damage. That part is good. It made me nervous, and I don't seem to handle stress too well now, I've noticed. I've had enough drama in my life to last a while and try to keep things on an even keel.
I'll post some photos of Brendan soon from today. He's really growing and is a tall baby. He adores Melissa and she seems happier than I've ever seen her. Brendan recognizes his name and nicknames they call him, too. I'm glad she's staying home with him and taking such good care of him. All my grandchildren have good parents, and I'm so proud of them. They are fortunate children!!
