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

Work
I had a fairly productive weekend. I'm actually looking forward to our fall break so I can clean house. I feel more energetic and want to accomplish something around here. I also had some time for social activities. Earl and I ate at Applebee's Sunday and enjoyed it. I'm going to take advantage of the Carry-Out service they have there but plan to eat inside by myself some too. Usually I don't like to eat out by myself, but I'm getting better about it.
I love this cooler weather. Fall is my favorite season. I hope we have a pretty one with colorful leaves and those clear blue skies.
Trivia answers are posted now.
