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

Little Stolen Penguin
Some of the news reports say March of the Penguins influenced that horrible person to steal that baby penguin from the Isle of Wight zoo. I can understand how the documentary would create more interest in them, but knowing what the parents go through to feed the baby penguins and how dependent they are would keep someone from taking one, I'd think. On NBC news tonight they said the zoo people said they would increase security and install cameras in their area.
I watched the special features on the DVD today and am so impressed with those Emperor penguins.
