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

Interesting how you first hear about something and then there it is again. Last night on West Wing, part of the plot involved a goat that was there at the Bartlet White House (my President) for a photo to promote the Heifer Project. This is an organization that provides cows and goats to people in impoverished rural villages, so they will have a means of income. Then today Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn were on Oprah to promote The Banger Sisters. Susan had been involved in the Heifer Project, and a girl in Uganda who had received a goat was on the show to thank her.
I added a few things to the previous post about The Hours.
I took a nap this afternoon with the poodle cat Columbo warming my feet as usual. Soon I won't be able to call him that since his fur is growing after his haircut. For those of you who didn't read that part, the vet tech shaved him because of the out-of-control fur mats I wasn't able to get rid of. He looked so cute and felt like velvet. I was right about our making about the same progress since mine is getting thicker and growing back, too. Randy Shepard said I look like a Chia Pet. My hair feels like fur and has a mind of its own. It's curly anyway but now different parts of it go in all different directions. Eventually it will be back to abnormal just like the rest of me.
