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

DST
It's too soon to tell yet how I feel about Daylight "Savings" Time, but now that I'm not working perhaps getting up an hour early won't bother me so much. I don't like for them to keep messing around with the time, even though it's an artificial construct used to manage our schedules. Well, it is and it isn't, I suppose. The sun, moon, and seasons do indicate a pattern that caused people to make calendars and timepieces. It all has to do with what time the sun crosses over us and we have no shadows. Then it's noon, and we go from there.
I am not mad.
