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

Searches
I've been checking the searches that brought some people to my blog, and it's interesting to see the combinations. All I have to do to find this out is click on the number of visitors over there on the left and on the Sputnik-type icon and find out all kinds of information. The BAFTA comments I made caused Google, Yahoo, etc to list my blog entry on there. At first it freaked me out that I was searchable. What's really strange are some of the combinations people use for searches that led them to mine. Of course, I got a lot of them looking for the poem on here by Roethke. Then there are the horse searches. And the Roxy Theater in Dickson. They really need a website with the movie listings since now I know that they aren't listed online anywhere. Sometimes I click the searches to see what else is listed and how far down the list my blog is. So far no hits for possums.
