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

Answers are posted to last week's quiz in the Squawkbox comment window where it's posted.

And now for this week's quiz and entertaining reading for me! These are some good one even though I don't know but 2 of them. Enjoy!!

1. MOVIES - What song does Kimmy (Cameron Diaz) sing to Mike (Dermot Mluroney) at the karaoke bar in My Best Friend's Wedding? (I saw the movie but blocked this out)
2. MOVIES - What two members of the Rat Pack make appearances in Cannonball Run? (and saw this one, too - didn't remember which ones but can name the Rat Pack - would that help?)
3. TV - What is ALF an acronym for? (didn't like that show so didn't watch it)
4. TV - Which infamous Long Islander had three different TV movies based on her life air during a single week? (unfortunately, I know this one)
5. MUSIC - What as the name of Salt N' Pepa's third member? (I don't even know the first two)
6. MUSIC - What Green Day ballad was performed by actress Gloria Reuben on an episolde of ER? (I watch this show, too, and remember her character, storyline, and that she left to tour with Tina Turner - not the song though)
7. S&G - What card game has players trying to "shoot the moon?" (missed this one but think my answer might also be right - will check this out)
8. S&G - What NHL team is named after a 1992 Disney movie starring Emilio Estevez? (had no clue on this one)
9. BUZZ - What city was Clint Eastwood the mayor of? (at last one more I knew!)
10. BUZZ - What singer was Cuba Gooding, Jr. a break-dancer for? (never knew this at all - think they are making it up - but what people do in the privacy of their homes .... heh heh)
11. FAD - What 1994 Gen X film joked that Evian spelled backwards is Naive? (saw this movie too but couldn't remember the name of it until I read the answer - then it all came back - isn't that just the way it is? aha!)
12. FAD - What is the name of the comic book guy on The Simpsons? (didn't know this but now wonder whose voice he is - anyone know?)
