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

Get In Line!
I'm joining the movement! Yes, we're back to the low-flow toilet topic. I found a bill against them. Dave Barry said everything I think about them in this column, too. Let's rally around an important issue, folks!
I'm not sure if it's a rumor or not, but I heard that old-fashioned toilets are no longer illegal. If so, I've found one thing about this administration that I like. Not enough to actually vote for any of them. I'm still not able to write about the election yet. It's too disheartening and depressing.
Have you thought about how many laws are broken without major consequences, and then here is this one that no one will cross! Argh!
