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

Horn Tooting
The quiz will return this weekend. It's the end of school, and blogging slows down considerably at that time. Aha!! "That time" has now become "this last time" which makes me giddy with retirementitis. How too, too exciting!
The DCEA teacher's banquet was Monday night, and I was honored to be elected High School Teacher of the Year. I appreciate it and am amazed. Brian said it was a Lifetime Achievement Award. There is an article in the Dickson Herald about the recipients in elementary, middle, and high school. One of my former students, Marilyn Wade, won for middle school. She's such a neat person and good teacher.
