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

I'm Back!!
Had a wonderful time in Orlando! The weather was great, conference informative and interesting, and the shopping was fun! We went to Epcot and really enjoyed it. Plato hosted a dinner at Animal Kingdom which was delicious and then showed us The Lion King production which was exciting and entertaining! Well done!
I got home a little after 9:30 and slept very well and plan to again as soon as I can. I walked more during this time than I have in a year, so maybe this will motivate me to keep on. We all had lots of fun, got along, and learned things. More later. (yawn and smile)
