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

2. AE - Who was the voice of Mr. Magoo in the TV series?
3. HS - What did the 1935 Wagner Act give workers the right to do besides allowing collective bargaining?

6. WC - What Greek philosopher believed that man's goal should be serenity of mind and the enjoyment of moderate pleasure?
7. Movie - This film was based on the viewpoint of a New Orleans district attorney, Jim Garrison.
I'll add the other clues if you need them.

Other movie clues: This picture was directed by Oliver Stone. A star-studded cast includes Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, and Kevin Costner.

We know who will know #5 and also the movie. I have an idea about who will know #3. Why do most of the ones who answer these questions have names that begin with "M"?

I still can't get over Yanni. Why doesn't anyone know about Chuckles?
