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

Trivia Quiz

Anyone feel free to answer the questions. Our rules are simple - answer or guess correctly, be creative and funny, or all of the above!! Laugh and learn!

I chose from two different cards this time and added some commentary. For the Science and Nature question I used both because it covered math and language arts. I knew the answers to only 2 of these.

1. PP - Which enduring African country offers free education to its citizens at all levels including universities?
2. AE - What talk show host was the first female comic to win on Star Search? (will creep you out)
3. HIS - What is the name of the three-headed dog who, according to Greek mythology, guards the gates of hell? (my former students have to know this - remember HE and SHE and Psyche's tasks)
4. SN - What is a triangle with 3 unequal sides called? (math question)
What is a group (or pack) of foxes called? (or collective noun for you English majors)
5. SL - Who has walked more batters than anyone in baseball history?
6. WC - What British breed of dog is affectionately known as the "Bobtail"?
7. Movie - Action in this movie takes place in the Middle Ages. This film co-stars Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. This movie included the popular music single "Everything I Do, I Do For You."
