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.

1. MOVIE - What two Steven Spielberg films are named only with initials?
2. MOVIE - Who played the Nikita role in Point of No Return, the American remake of La Femme Nikita?
3. TV - What non-English-speaking Japanese duo had their own variety show with comedian Jeff Altman? (how is it I've never heard on any of these? I'm getting old!)
4. TV - Who was the last original Law & Order character to leave the show? (Brendan and I like this show - he loves the theme song and dances to it)

6. MUSIC - What Alice in Chains singer died in 2002? (who?)

8. S&G - What Dodgers pitcher gave up home runs number 71 and 72 to Barry Bonds in his record-breaking 2001 season? (they can do this? how, Michael?)
9. BUZZ - In what state did Kim Basinger own an entire town? (this I know ... how did it turn out ... did she sell it back to someone or what?)
