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

Counter
I keep looking at the visits to my webpage and wonder who reads it. I counted (well, estimated) how many have told me they do and am curious about the others. So if you haven't let me know who you are, please email, comment, or sign the guest book to tell me. Notice I added a comment option, too. You know how curious I am about things, and perhaps I might even have a few control issues too. At least I admit it. LOL Please do something to let me know! I'm keeping score!
