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
The devastation is horrible! Loss of lives, pets, and property can't be determined yet. New Orleans will never be the same which is really sad. That's such an interesting city with the music and restaurants and historic buildings. Americans are already helping the Gulf coast victims and will continue to do so. I wonder if any other countries will send aid and doubt if they will. We don't seem to engender that kind of treatment. But I digress. I feel so bad for all the people who experienced this tragedy that will take years to rebuild.
