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

from the Pop Culture edition (used two cards for more to answer)

Have fun! Be creative! No googling!

1. MOVIES - What teen movie includes the line, "My plasitc surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose"? (be nice, now)
2. TV - What all-talk cable network did NBC dump to make room for MSNBC? (I totally never knew about this station at all)
3. MUSIC - Who was the first Spice Girl to release a solo album? (c'mon, Scaryduck, we know you know this one but won't admit it)
4. SPORTS & GAMES - What gory 1992 arcade game featured an announcer who yelled, "Finish him"? (something I did hear about it from students ... I wouldn't have let Brian play it but that's just me)
5. BUZZ - How did Harrison Ford get that distinctive scar on his chin?
6. FAD - What dance has "a little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul?"
7. MOVIES - What was the first full-length animated feature to be created entirely by artists using computer tools and technology?
8. FAD - What was the most popular name for baby girls in 2001? (After he went to Boy's State, Brian said that every other boy must have been named Brian the year he was born)
9. MUSIC - Which Van Halen singer lasted the least amount of albums? (must have been short since I never heard of him)
10. S&G - Whose record did Cal Ripkin break when he appeared in his 2,131st straight game? (another one for you, Michael)

Answers:
1. Clueless
2. America's Talking (some of your answers were much better)
3. Ginger Spice (Geri Halliwell) She's married to some soccer star, I think.
4. Mortal Kombat
5. Automobile accident
6. The Locomotion (right you are!)
7. Toy Story (my grandson Luke loves it)
8. Emily (depends on the source, I guess ... right?)
9. Gary Cherone (who is he?)
10. Lou Gehrig's

Well done and entertaining!
