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

Mascots
Never one to keep up with current news or sports much at all, I only recently learned that UT at Chattanooga's mascot is the Mocs. I asked if it stood for mocassins and wondered about water mocassins or the soft leather shoes, so I looked it up and learned something. It's changed over the years from snakes and shoes to Scrappy, a mockingbird train engineer. How about that? Actually, it does incorporate the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and the state bird. Here's the history of Mocs.
UT-Martin where I went used to be the Vols as well, but got called the Baby Vols sometimes. Our colors were also orange and white. Then UTM became the Pacers and now the Skyhawks. The colors have changed over the years, too.
There are companies who specialize in mascots, logos, etc. What are some other odd one?
