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

Prozac Nation
From the lack of comments, I don't suppose any of you have theories on why so many people are taking psychotropic drugs. I get this response quite often when I ask my students questions. It's a good way to get them quiet. Occasionally some of them come through, but there aren't that many discussions. More like ... will this be on the test? I'm doing the same thing and cramming for my blood tests by avoiding food I shouldn't eat.
