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

Slogan for the Brits
I heard on NPR this morning on my favorite show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" that some people in power think what England is missing is a national motto. Ours is E Pluribus Unum which means "Out of many, one" which we need to remember and do something about, but I digress. So what suggestions do we have for England's motto? Some funny ones were suggested on NPR this morning, but what should it be?
