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

Doesn't Belong
Everybody sing, "Which of these things is not like the other? Which of these things doesn't belong?" On Says You on NPR this morning was a clever quiz I'll post as much of as I can recall. What you need to do is tell which one of the terms or people on the list is different from the others and why. Can someone else (Michael) remember the others? If so, please email them to me, and I'll post them. These were fun, but this is all that stuck with me.
1. tavern, bar, cane, corn
2. Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, Hades
3. Suzanne Somers, Spring Byington, Elsa Lancaster, Robin Wright Penn
