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

On the Map
It's our regularly scheduled time to ask those of you who haven't signed up on the map to join in! Several whole continents are empty, and the crowded areas can still fit more in! Just click on the guest map, change it to dots, zoom in, and there you are! Hands across the world! Everyone welcome!
Lovely weather here today and yesterday. Nice change from the death and destruction of the tornadoes.
Scaryduck was particularly funny today with Nohands the kitten making a divine appearance.
One of my former students Amy Nickens just finished her freshman year at Clark University in Worcester, Mass, and writes for The Morning Rooster there. Here's a link to her article about her grandmother - A Beloved Grandmother Remembered on Mother's Day. She wrote well from a young age and just gets better!
Salam Pax is back with his blog from Iraq. You might remember that he's an Iraqi citizen who lives in Baghdad and wrote about what was going on from his perspective there. I haven't read all the posts yet but plan to. His blog has received a lot of publicity and many readers.
