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

Experimentation
I attempted to post a picture on here following Scaryduck's instructions, and it worked really well. I found out though that pictures need to be on the net in order to post them since I first tried to show you a picture of my cousin Sally and my daughter Kathy which had to be linked from my computer. It showed up on mine, but I checked with a couple of others who said it didn't show on theirs. Eventually after I called Earl and we talked long distance for a while emailing back and forth, I told him it was probably my efficient firewall keeping others from pinging my computer and seeing the picture. That's a relief actually. Now I just have to find a way to get some photos on a place on the web (Comcast gives us a webpage which might work), so you can see pictures. Otherwise, I'll need to upgrade my blog and just make it easier to do. I'll work on it. Thanks so much, Scaryduck, for teaching me how to do this!
In the meantime, if you'd like to see a couple of photos Earl took (he's a professional photographer), I posted them on Around the Bend. They are on his daughter Margaret's website, so I could link to them. Here's Margaret's page. Thanks, Earl, for the late-night call and all your help.
To paraphrase Blance DuBois - I've always depended upon the kindness of strangies. These two definitely qualify as do most of my favorite people!
