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

Great News!
My friend Jackie Jonas will present her original storytelling show at the Renaissance Center August 20. Mark your calendars and save your money, so you can go. It's called Middle Passage and is in two parts. In the first act, Jackie tells African stories and features drummers. The second act highlights slave stories and a church choir. It's possible that the Fisk Jubliee Singers could perform with her. It will be worth the time and money for you to see this. I'll remind you closer to the date. I saw her perform this program in Pittsburgh where she lives now and was moved to tears. I'm so proud of her and am thrilled for her to be able to do her show in her hometown.
Jackie Weaver Jonas was in the early learning years of the DCHS Forensics Team and was a valuable member. We've stayed in touch and have been friends a long time.
