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

Fonda Changes
This new movie Monster-in-Law Jane Fonda is in with Jennifer Lopez is getting really bad reviews, not surprisingly. The trailers were silly and made me not want to watch it. I've seen Jane Fonda on some talk shows promoting it and her book. I noticed a long time ago how she goes through various changes depending on the men in her life (Barbarella, Hanoi Jane, Fitness Queen, Rancher Wife, and on it goes). Now she's a born-again Christian which she said contributed to her divorce from Ted Turner since he doesn't have much patience with all that. Mostly I've noticed how brittle and strident she seems now and is so serious about this transition just as she has been about all the other ones. I just wish she would go through them quietly and not subject us to all this.
I get tired of all these rehab and born-again types who get all this publicity and attention for turning their lives around. What about those of us who have done pretty well all along? We might have made a few detours and taken the scenic route now and then, but we don't advertise it and expect all kinds of attention for pulling out of a quagmire that was apparently fun for them for a while or whatever. Please.
