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

Flush
I noticed when signing on to Blogger that Dave Barry has a blog on here now that's replaced his old one wherever it was. I looked around his site and saw that he feels the same way I do about low-flow toilets. Those of you who have been around me know how much I hate those things!! They don't save money. If the one-flush practice which only uses about a cup of water is applied all the time, you will have to call a plumber monthly. Enough said about money right there! To need a plumber less often requires holding the handle down until the tank empties every time it's used. So much for saving water! This is a difficult topic to discuss without resorting to euphemisms or mentioning functions best left private, so I won't go into details. I'll just mention that those toilets require much more time and attention than most of us want to devote. Many times I've wanted to smash it to porcelain bits and find one of the low-maintenance ones on the black market.
