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

Questions
Where did that expression "I serve at the pleasure of the President" originate? I can't find the answer by my usual methods of research - Google and asking people - so I'm now asking more people.
Wonder what Elijah Blue Allman is doing now? He's Cher and Gregg Allman's son, you know. I saw someone on TV playing a guitar who looks the way I think he would look now, which is quite a bit like his father. I read that he has a band named Deadsy.
