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

Links R Us
Dave Barry reprinted a column from 1998 in his blog today which explains how this war could have been avoided, or maybe won. He's always funny even though he is way behind in the Best Celebrity Blog Poll on Forbes. He's beating Barbra Streisand, though. Wil Wheaton has outrun everyone. Many people read his regularly. I read it fairly often and can understand why it's so popular. Doc Searls is another widely-read and linked blog that I read periodically. The Homeless Guy was featured in the same article in the Tennessean that I was and has gained national attention. There are several I read every day and look forward to and mention and/or have linked.
You have probably noticed the nifty fading out and sliding around features on my blog now when you enter and exit. Thanks to M for getting the instructions down to my level and for the new nickname that necessitated it. I am now J-Lotechster. I like it. According to him, I can make it do different things by changing the code! I'll be asking for help with that. I've tried experimenting and screwed things up.
