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

Ally Andrade
My niece Amy (Durham) and her husband Chris Andrade welcomed their daughter Allyson Emily to the world last night at 11:20. After many hours of labor, Amy had a C-section, and Ally was born on her due date. Mother called yesterday morning to say Amy went to the hospital around 7:00, so she had a long time of it. Butch and Janelle left around 10:00 to drive to Kansas. We all anticipated the phone call all day. Mother called last night a little after midnight to let me know. We're so excited and happy for them! Ally weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and is healthy and wonderful! I hope to have pictures soon and will post them when I do.
I'm off today so I can drive Mother to Nashville for eye surgery at 1:00 and be there with her. She's had some bleeding behind the retina. I'll let you know how that goes.
9:07:00 AM
