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

Xanadu
Melissa was the guest artist at the science fiction convention Xanadu in Nashville this weekend. When you click on Guests on their webpage, you'll see her name listed. It's quite an honor, and I'm so thrilled for her! The exposure will be good to have locally since she's known in other Cons they attend. She's won awards at DragonCon and ChattaCon. Check out her website if you haven't already done so.
Happy Mother's Day! I went to church with Mother and then to lunch at the Belle Meade Buffet since she likes it there. We had a delicious lunch, and it was like a family reunion at church. We had a good day and really enjoyed it.
