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

Approval
From David Letterman's monologue: "George W. Bush says he doesn't need the world's approval to go to war with Iraq. Which makes sense, since he didn't need the American public's approval to be President."
Most of you know how I feel about Dubya and other Republicans of his ilk, so I like what Dave said. (I won't even date Republicans)
What a horror story for the girl whose heart transplant was botched. Her family's grief can't even be imagined. That heart surgeon really messed up - twice!
I still can't figure out how to work the webpage we get as part of having Comcast. I wanted to put the photos on there and link to it. Perhaps eventually some friend and/or former student can help me with it. This is a good idea just waiting to happen. I'll see what happens when Blogger becomes Glogger or would it be Glooger before seriously considering an upgrade.
I've really been enjoying Dave Barry's blog. He's so funny! It's hard to think about him without Harry Anderson coming to mind.
First we had all that rain that went on and on and on .... now it's snowing. Rivers and creeks are flooding. My yard looks like a lake. I need a good last line now.
