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

Late Hours
I need to get back to going to bed early and getting up early. I've reverted to my old ways and don't get as much done. I stayed up late watching movies on BBC last night and haven't been up long. That was a better schedule, but I am a night owl and always have been. It's all relative and what is early to me is late to morning people. However, I was getting up early even for them there for a while and was going to bed before 10. I'll miss good TV shows now if I do that, but could go to bed at 10 possibly even though it's not too likely since it's not my nature.
