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

Sunny Days
Love this weather! It's sunny and crisp! The buttercups are peeking out of the ground and will probably bloom soon. What a difference the weather makes! I hope we have a long spring, short summer, and long autumn.
I discovered a new blog when I signed on in the Blogs of Note. It's just begun and is a movie review blog. I don't know about the blogger but suspect he's probably a student in his 20's. It's called Sunset Blvd. Do not read about any of the movies unless you've seen them or don't care if he tells the ending. His comments are interesting and offer a different perspective on some of the movies.
