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

Coupling
I enjoy several shows on BBC-America - Coupling being one of them. NBC has copied the show (exact scripts, characters, and all) for the one that premieres tonight. What's the point of that? American TV does that a lot, and what makes the shows good is that they are fresh, new, creative. So what do they do? Right! I'm sure they are trying to find a replacement for Friends, but the way to do that is how that show did it in the first place - the way Seinfeld, Cheers, and other hit shows were different from the way others had been. This review in the Tennessean confirms what I thought about Coupling.
