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

Help!
Was anyone listening to NPR this morning to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" during the part where they make up things. This one was about legal defenses and one was right. I didn't hear which one worked in court and which ones didn't. Did any of you? The choices were the Saggitarius defense, handsome policeman entrapment, and French misinterpretation of andouille. I missed it and wonder what it was ... so please let me know if you heard it and remember. Ah, so many requirements!
