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

Katrina
Let's hope for the best with whatever Katrina is doing next. Right now we have strong winds and heavy rain and are on a tropical storm watch, which is bizarre for this far inland. Schools are closed just in case the predicted floods arrive. All those people who have been injured and lost their homes have my deepest sympathies. For some, it's been loss of life and for others loss of property and injury and inconvenience. These scary weather conditions make me nervous.
