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

The Full Monty
If any of you are interested, I've typed and posted a paper I wrote for extra credit in the screenwriting class I took. Warning: it's long. The assignment was to watch The Full Monty which was showing in theaters at the time, write a character analysis of the six main characters, and analyze what they wanted, needed, and their motivation. It's on Around the Bend if you want to read it. Feel free to comment. That blog has no comments or anyone but me on the map. The cheese stands alone. Notice how I'm getting better about not whining and begging for comments? Haloscan restored all of mine. I thanked them.
Brian and I went to see the movie together on my birthday and took notes in the dark (I did - he could probably remember) and wrote our papers. If he wants me to post his paper or anything else he's written, he is welcome. Well, since he has the password and knows how, he could anyway. Guess I hadn't thought about a coup.
