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

Shamless Self-Promotion
My name is on Dave Barry's blog today under the heading Morale Booster. Unfortunately, even though that applies, he's not referring to me. How I happened to be mentioned was by sending him a link to a site I thought was funny and hoped he'd like, too. The one I sent was something Scary Duck mentioned on his hilarious site. I must give credit to him and the Viking Kittens. I'll bet they are wondering why many extra thousands of people are visiting them today. This causes problems sometimes - something about bandwidth. I noticed that it's taking a long time to open and am a bit concerned. Hope this brings me good karma even though that's not why I did it. I thought Dave might think it was funny. Anything to bring a smile to someone who's made me laugh all these years and who wrote for Steve Martin's Oscar hosting Sunday night. He was a fantastic host. Loved it! The jokes were great, too! I read writing credits and noticed the list of writers and understood why.
ps - This from Scary Duck: Don't worry about Crab Bloke's bandwidth, he gets loads of hits - he does the animations for a music show on channel four using our favourite kitten - nohands.
We Americans don't know this.
