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

I'm Back!
I got back from Kathy's tonight. We had a good time visiting, opening presents, watching movies, shopping, and eating. We went to see the Lemony Snicket movie, which we all enjoyed. It was properly dark and gloomy. Kelsey has really gotten tall and will outgrow Kathy in no time. Kari has a hair cut which looks really cute. Luke is getting taller, too, and is still so sweet. It was lots of fun. I have some pictures posted in the album, so you can see them. I have some new ones of Brendan with his haircut, too. I stopped by there on my way home to take some clothes and toys Kathy sent that Luke didn't need any more.
