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

SAG
Just watched the SAG Awards. I'd watched Renee Zellweger on Inside the Actor's Studio earlier and then she won Best Actress for Chicago. Clint Eastwood got a Lifetime Achievement Award and said he hoped it didn't mean that he was finished because that wasn't in the plan. I hope not too. The Oscars will be interesting. Chicago won for Best Ensemble Cast. All my life that I've watched the Academy Awards, like many people, I've envisioned myself up there accepting my Oscar and have written my speech in my mind, revising it periodically. I used to think I'd win it for acting but now have changed it to screenwriting. This is one of my favorite fantasies but not one I've spent as much time with as winning the lottery. I've spent that money so many different ways and enjoy thinking about what I'd do with it. One thing that never changes is traveling. It's a good test really to think about it because it leads to wondering why not do some of the things I'd like to do and figuring out ways to accomplish them and why I'm not doing them now.
There was an interesting speech in The Life of David Gale where the Kevin Spacey character is a philosophy professor and discusses fantasies and dreams. I hope I can find the screenplay and read those words. If I do, I'll put them on here so you can see what you think about that observation.
Brian called from Babies R Us to tell me how much fun they were having looking at things there. We're going to shop at consignment shops and yard sales from now on for the baby, too.
I can't believe the time goes by so fast now that I'm not working. Every week all of a sudden it's Thursday!!
