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

New Trivia Quiz

I've been at in-service all week and am tired! Today I unpacked boxes, and people were so nice to help me get things moved into my room. I appreciate it so much.

So answer what you know, guess, be funny! Whatever - just enjoy!! Bonus information always fun to learn, so give us more trivia to read!

1. People & Places - Who sported a license plate that read "A1ANA2"?
2. Arts & Entertainment - Whose defense fund was the recipient of Edna St. Vincent Millay's profits from the sale of her poem, Justice Denied in Massachusetts?
3. History - What was the first city Neil Armstrong mentioned when he was on the moon?
4. Science & Nature - Which animal hair is used to make cashmere?
5. Sports & Leisure - What team has lost the most World Series?
6. Wild Card - What fictional, youth-loving character lends his name to a fashion detail?
7. Movie - Christopher Lloyd plays Judge Doom in this mystery. This film offers a wonderful combination of live action and animation. The "toons" live side by side with humans in this movie. *It also has one of my favorite quotes in it.
