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

Birthday Boy
We celebrated Brendan's 3rd birthday at the Field of Dreams Park in White Bluff where Brendan and I have gone to play before. Brian and Melissa brought picnic food, and Melissa made the cutest birthday cake with wild animal toys on top to look like the carousel at the zoo. They have a membership and go there quite often. Unfortunately, when I was making sure I packed everything that Brendan had brought with him to spend the night, I forgot my camera. I can't believe I'll have no pictures of his birthday party now. I thought about it just as I got there and knew I should have put it in my purse the night before.
It was a small party with Mother, the birthday family, and me. It was a pretty, sunny day, and we had lots of fun.
