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

Wow!
I'm not used to having anyone respond to my rants, raves, and spouting off. I've been teaching so long that I'm accustomed to being tuned out, and my blog readers lull me into a false sense of typing into a black hole. I've even quit whining so much about wondering if anyone reads my blog, at least until I see people out in the 3-dimensional world and get responses as if picking up on part of a conversation. I guess all this is a bit odd.
My usual movie marathon continues that I do when school is out every year. I'll have to pace myself from now on since I can watch movies and read for pleasure whenever I want to. So far I've seen In Good Company (entertaining but then I like Dennis Quaid in movies - it focuses on the worst in business), Kinsey (and I like Liam Neeson), Closer (oddly mean people), National Treasure (interesting adventure), Shattered Glass, 84 Charring Cross (older but one I'd missed), Stage Beauty, Empire Falls (on HBO), and Garden State (quite good).
