The Waking-Theodore Roethke

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to 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.

Truth. Everyone should follow this advice.

Except for the coffee part. Because coffee is gross, and I don’t like it. I will gladly smell it though instead of drinking it :]

Logos and mad hate for InDesign

So, I think I decided on a logo design yesterday. (Have I mentioned how much I hate InDesign and am not a graphic designer by ANY means??) Insert fireworks, exclamations and jumping! (At least until I decide to become indecisive again) :P

But here it is for now!

Jena & Jon: CA Engagement Pictures

I posted previously about how excited I was to go to CA with Jena to take her and Jon’s engagement pictures, and it was definitely quite the experience! Monterey and San Fran were beautiful, the food was delicious, and getting to spend the week with your friends in such an awesome place was amazing. (However, my body had other plans and decided to have other plans so I was dealing with quite the health/body issue while there. If you like being grossed out, read this.) Overall, I was so thankful for the trip and the fun time that I was able to have taking their pictures. Can’t wait to make a trip out there once they’re married and NOT be on the verge of death at the same time! :]
