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

BBC
I've been watching BBC American on cable quite a bit and saw "Coupling" I've been hearing about and liked it. Robbie Coltrane was on an interview show. Parkinson, I think. He was in Harry Potter, but I first saw him and really liked him in "Cracker" which was on A&E. The Americanized version starring Robert Pastorelli was quite good as well, which isn't always the case when British shows are adapted for American audiences. Those flawed main characters are more interesting in fiction. In real life, they wear thin.
I'm also watching the last weeks of "Politically Incorrect" since it's been cancelled and won't be on after this week.
