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

yawn
I've been so lazy lately that I've even been too triflin' to write on here. I've been burrowing in and hibernating with books, tv, and warm cats. It's so cold! It was 0 degrees this morning. Hope all of you are fine and that no pipes have frozen.
Good news from the family! My cousin Donna's husband was promoted to Colonel of the Highway Patrol. That's leader of all the state patrolmen. The only one above him is the Commissioner of Public Safety. Well done, Lynn, and congratulations!!
