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

Attention Computer Geeks!
Help!! I have Office 2003 and use Outlook Express for my email. I keep fiddling with the settings but am having trouble receiving email in the font the person sends it in. Some of the emails come through the way they were sent but not others. Also when I reply, the font isn't consistent. I can't find this on that "help" part of Outlook, so I'm asking you.
Election
I'm really nervous about the election. For the first time school is closed for it. I guess we have Homeland Security to thank for that. Also the turn-out is so large that it could interfere with school since that is where quite a few polls are located. I can't watch TV or listen to the radio, so I'm grading papers and doing laundry. I just hope it's over tonight and that we don't have another 2000.
What do you make of the tape from Osama? It almost seems as if he's saying that if W is elected, our economy will be bankrupt that much faster. The current misadministration is doing that quite well all by themselves, but he said it was playing into his plan more quickly than he'd hoped. I don't know what he's really trying to do here, but he is intelligent, informed, and still very active and alive. It's really scary.
