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

Must Read
This link is to Ronni Bennett's blog about what it's like to get older. She and I are about the same age. Click on "about" and read her impressive credentials. She's been a radio and television producer and writer, The Barbara Walters' Specials and 20/20, among them. Her blog is fascinating and informative. This post is about healthcare and the mid-term elections. Please feel free to comment on her post and let her know about experiences with universal healthcare in the UK, Canada, France, and other places you're conversant about. What system does Australia have, Janey?
Btw, the header on her blog is enviable. I'd like to do that on here and would hope she wouldn't mind. She's safe, though, since I don't know how.
