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

Too Funny!
I just read this on iwon where I check the TV listings. My horoscope is on there every day. This one cracked me up. I've been following this advice for way too long! Little do they know!
Libra
Send your partner off to do some errand and grab some real solitude. Maybe shooing the children out to play is your idea of quality time. Nurture yourself in this hard-won complete privacy. If you waste the opportunity on some low-priority task, you'll be sorry. Sorting your junk mail doesn't come anywhere near satisfying your spirit. Even if you hate clutter or loose ends as much as the next person, you can deal with them against all the usual background noise. Show yourself how much you value your self. It's been some time since you last did anything like this.
