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

Michael Jeter
I just heard on the news that Michael Jeter died yesterday. I've followed his career and enjoyed his performances in many different roles. His character on Evening Shade, for which he won an Emmy, added a phrase to my list when Elizabeth Ashley's character called him "a little puff of a man." Their scenes together were hilarious and the main reason I watched that show. They were so good together. He was in The Fisher King, The Green Mile, Patch Adams, and many other productions which showed the range of his talent. He won a Tony for The Grand Hotel. Jeter was from Lawrenceburg, TN, and went to Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis). He was shooting a movie with Tom Hanks when he died suddenly at 50. I'll miss seeing him on the screen. Sad news, indeed.
