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

Photos
I was just looking at my photo album and plan to update it. I should have the opportunity to take some more soon. If any of you would like to send pictures of you for me add for a while, feel free to do so. I'm going to post some pictures of the house when I get it organized. Even though I'm taking some "before" photos, I'm not sure if I'm brave (or foolish) enough to post them. Only a few people know how bad it is now, and I might leave it at that. Let's just say I could easily be a candidate for the TLC show Clean Sweep.
