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

Quiz
Answers are posted in the Squawkbox comment place. Obviously, I need to read more. Several of us English teacher friends played this Thursday night at Tina's, and they would say about me that maybe I'd know "this one because there was a movie made from it." Guess if I'm ever going to write, it needs to be screenplays instead of novels. Then we played Conga, which was lots of fun and a Cranium game. They (Rachel, Molly, and Tina) came over to the vitamin store and brought lunch and played True Colors yesterday since it was New Year's Eve and not much business. That was a lot of fun, too.
