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

Yawn
I've been grading Scarlet Letter tests and am so sleepy.
Did I mention that I'm going to Disney World? Those of us who taught in the Credit Recovery program are getting to go to a conference on Plato, that computer program we use for it. Kim and I (who refer to ourselves as Lucy and Ethel since that's how we felt this summer while working out the kinks doing this for the first time) are going and so are Molly and Kimberly from Dickson County High School - we were all on the phone quite often with each other to compare notes. They are all so much fun, so it should be a good trip. We're looking forward to learning more about the program and getting away for a while. It will be September 20 - 22.
