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

Some Things Don't Change
Like me ... like my procrastinating! The end-of-school-year stress seems even worse this year because I've had a short-timer's attitude and have procrastinated big time with the paper grading. I don't recommend this for other retirees. Now I'm pretty sure I'll be up all night finishing this. I'm frazzled and in a bit of a panic, so I'll get off of the computer and get back to work. It's been pretty steady for a while now. Whew!!
