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

Creative Endeavors
Tina and I went to an all-day scrapbook crop yesterday in Clarksville and had such a good time. We learned new techniques, won door prizes, visited, and had fun. We made a mini-album which I'm really into now. They make good gifts and are quick and relatively inexpensive to make.
Next Saturday we're going to a screenwriting workshop sponsored by the Tennessee Screenwriters Association and which they are calling a boot camp. It's at Watkins Film School and sounds intensive and productive. We're looking forward to it.
I guess it's taken me almost a year of retirement to rest and become ready to be productive. I'm motivated to get things accomplished now. Wish me luck!
