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

What's It All About?
I wonder why so many people (including me) are taking psychotropic drugs. If the subject is broached in conversations with any group of people, it's almost impossible to find anyone who isn't familiar with Prozac, Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Paxil, Effexor, Elavil, and others I can't recall right now. What's going on? Why do we lack the natural seratonin and dopamine that should be in our brains? Or are we? Is it the food, speaking English, or what that causes so much of this since I don't know how many people in countries other than the U.S., U.K., and maybe Australia and Canada might be on these medications. They are rampant in ours. Why?
