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

Woooooo
I wonder why so many scary movies are out now. Seems as if there are several of them, and it's not even close to Halloween - unless people are getting ready for holidays earlier and earlier. Since Christmas decorations go up around Halloween now, maybe we have to be scared earlier in the year. This leads me to examine the use of the word "holiday" to describe Halloween, Valentine's Day, and those other celebratory days that we don't get off from work. What are they called?
