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

What I've Been Doing Instead of Blogging
I haven't been able to get my nose out of the Harry Potter books and have now read the first three of them as well as listened to them on CD. I've watched the first two movies, too. I'm glad I'm doing this now and don't have to wait a year between books. OK, OK, I know everyone said how good they are, but fantasy isn't what I like to read, so I didn't pay attention. But she tells a fantastic story and writes amazingly well. Rowling has created a world and characters I can totally visualize and can't wait to discover what happens with them next. Yes, all of you were right who told me I'd love reading these books. I'm glad I'm finally doing it.
