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

Library
Mother, Janelle, Sarah Ann, and I are going to the benefit for the public library tonight at the Renaissance Center. I hope this benefit helps them improve the library. I really enjoyed going to the previous one. It was light, organized, and clean. The one now is dark, depressing, and disorganized. I don't like being there, and I always feel at home in a library. Maybe enough money will be raised to help with some of this. Some of it won't change because of that building, though.
