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

Storm Damage
Check out the photos on the home page of the high school where Janey and I used to teach. The school is across the by-pass from my house. Thank goodness school wasn't in session. With all that broken glass and twisted metal, students, teachers, and others would have been hurt and possibly killed. It's scary with all the wires and damage there. They say it was from straight winds, but I think it was a tornado. What do you think?
They won't be back at school for weeks. It's just a week and a half until spring break, so that will give them time. Not sure what will happen with the rest of the schools in the county. I'm sure we'll go back while they are off. Who knows?
