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

Spring Break Repaired
Well, spring break is over. I really like this modified year-round schedule with two week breaks after each quarter and eight weeks of summer vacation. It helps to have some time off during the school year. I did get some things accomplished besides my social functions. I like being a lady who lunches. The house shows some progress which helps, too.
There haven't been comments on here for a while, so I'm not sure if anyone is reading this. Reminds me of teaching on those days when no one listens. How about a comment that includes zodiac sign, eye color, and Chinese year you were born. What else could we mention? I'm a Libra with green eyes and a wet blanket (water sheep).
