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

Beamish Birthday Boy
Tomorrow is Brendan's first birthday. We're meeting at Ellendale's for brunch. (surprise) Our plans have been to go to the zoo for the afternoon, but since rain is predicted, we might have to do something else. I think Brian and Melissa have contingency plans. I can't believe it's been a year since he was born. Now we also have Allyson and another cousin on the way in August when Andy and Angela have their baby. Kari just had her 9th birthday on April 19, and Kelsey was 11 on February 9. Luke was 5 in September. How exciting it is to have children in the family to enjoy!
