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

Wow!
Jenna Bush has a book deal. Yes. That's right. A BOOK deal. And it's about a teen single-mother in Panama who has HIV. No comment I could make would do this justice. Right? She's an intern with UNICEF in Central and South America after teaching elementary school in Washington, DC, for a year and a half. I'd like to think that she quit teaching after dealing with No Child Left Behind.
