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

Windbird
WSMV (local channel 4 news) has Snowbird, a puppet who announces when we have no school. Because all the wind and thunderstorms this morning that damaged the high school in Dickson, we have no school tomorrow. There was a lot of damage with roofs being blown off of parts of the buildings. I'm not sure how much water damage happened, but all the school maintenance workers will be needed to clean up and repair what they can. What we're wondering is if the whole county will be off the rest of the week while DCHS is closed. We haven't used any of our eleven built-in snow days which would help for that. Thank goodness this happened on a vaction day since it's Presidents Day today because students would have been in the walkway and rooms where damage happened. Here's a report on it. From what I understand, creeeks are high and will get worse when it keeps raining. I'll keep you posted.
The country club was also damaged from wind and falling trees.
Everything went quickly this morning. The scan didn't take but about 15 minutes.. I'll hear results when I see Dr. Spigel April 4. I guess I'll know nothing is bad if I don't hear from him before then. I don't expect to.
