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 Boy
I'm going to Nashville tonight to keep Brendan while Brian and Melissa have a much-needed night out with each other. I'm looking forward to having fun with Brendan since he's very entertaining. Last week when I had him, I told him Jackie tells stories and that we must listen carefully and be very quiet. Then I told him, "We can do it!" Which he shouts enthusiastically now when I mention Jackie and the storytelling. He's going to be there, too, when we go to her performance. Brian can only answer, "I hope so," when I suggest that Brendan will be enthralled by it. So we all hope so, but since he loves music and stories so much, I do believe he will listen and enjoy it. It's a wonderful performance! There are still tickets! August 20 at 6:30 - be there!
