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

WGA Awards
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Charlie Kaufman and Sideways won screenwriting awards from the Writers Guild. The screenplay for Sideways, written by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, was based on Rex Pickett's novel. I was glad to read that Tony Kushner won for Angels in America which was on HBO but is for rent on DVD. I watched Something the Lord Made on HBO yesterday. Peter Silverman and Robert Caswell won the writing award, and the actors (Alan Rickman and Mos Def) will be nominated for an Emmy for it if not already. It's about Dr. Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas who pioneered cardiac surgery and is the story of their collaboration with Dr. Helen Taussig during segregation and times when no one thought the heart could sustain surgery. HBO takes chances and produces quality shows. Have any of you seen these?
