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

Flying in the Face of Reason
Is that the expression? Doesn't quite look right. Well, apparently we're going to Disney World! I've been making preparations for a substitute for my classes, which is more work than being there. I hope the kids behave. We don't have all the plans worked out about meeting to go to the airport yet. The flight leaves at SEVEN A.M.!!!!! That means I'll have to get up in the middle of the night to leave here at 4:00, so we can get there at 5:00. There is so much to do before then! Wish us luck.
I'll post the new quiz and answers to the old one tomorrow. Then after I get back Wednesday night, I'll have something entertaining to read.
7:52:00 PM
