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

Brendan, Branson, and Baton!
I was going to post this here, but please go over to Brian's LiveJournal post to see the photo he took with his cell phone of Brendan with his mother Melissa and Lawrence Welk's baton. If you scroll down a bit, you can read about their trip. It was quite eventful!
Brian has always known how much I love him, but being Brendan's dad helps him experience it. There's no sacrifice doing things for our children since it comes back to us exponentially. Brendan's big smile is all the reward they need. I'm glad they took this trip.
It's still the funniest thing that Brendan likes the Lawrence Welk Show so much and knows all the cast and their songs and dances.
