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

The Boy
Brendan's second birthday was celebrated Saturday, April 23, at Edwin Warner Park in Nashville. He loves being outside and was in his element despite the cold which he doesn't seem to notice. Melissa's mother and father were there as well as several of Brian and Melissa's friends with their children. Mother, Butch, Andy, Angela, and Carter came, too. It was lots of fun. I will get some photos in the album as soon as possible. Melissa baked her first cake for the occasion. It was sort of like a brownie with lots of frosting since she didn't read the instructions too closely. It tasted good.
