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

Lists, Memorials, and More Lists
This is the time of year that we see lists everywhere for the best and worst of all kinds of things, people who died during the year, top stories, and resolutions or goals for the coming year. I have my usual goals and always hope I'll reach them. Perhaps this will be the year I lose weight, get my house organized, exercise, and win the lottery. What about you? Any lists? Any resolutions? Chris has some good lists on his blog. I might come up with some lists of my own if I can remember books and movies well enough to do it.
