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

OK, I'll quit taking these tests soon. Sorry for the self-indulgence, but I'm curious to see how your tests turn out, too. Chris, I know you love taking them! Confess. You, too, Oxy. And the rest of you. C'mon and play.
Notice the reference in this description that explains why I don't like the current mis-administration now in the White House. And I get to have Christine Lahti and John Houseman on the picture for mine! All right!! I need to get a life? Probably so.
I'm a Mandarin! 
You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try. Talent: 41%
Lifer: 33%
Mandarin: 46%
Take the Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin quiz.
