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

Socializing
Went to a baby shower for Angela this afternoon. Saw a lot of family members. Brendan was there walking all around and working the crowd. I took a lot of pictures but managed to erase the wrong card for some senile reason. I can't believe the 20 others are gone. Argh! I have a few posted in the album - the survivors that were on another card. Angela got a lot of really cute clothes for Carter (they're naming him Jacob Carter Durham and calling him Carter, so many of his clothes have his name in them). ;-)
I watched the Tony Awards tonight and got to find out what's on Broadway now. Then Bette Midler was on Inside the Actor's Studio, so it's been a theatrical evening.
