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

TV
I've been watching the last episodes of Studio 60 which is a bittersweet experience since it's been cancelled. Ex-Wives Club, Bingo Night, The Bachelor, and all those other shows like that can be on, but not some well-written shows. Aaron Sorkin's worst writing is still better than the best efforts of many others. Tonight's show dealt with some powerful issues and interests. I wish it could stay on. I wish HBO would have a show Sorkin writes.
