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

Wind
The wind was so strong last night or this morning (while I was asleep anyway) that it knocked over my huge, new garbage can the city provided and blew over a pine tree in my yard. It wasn't one of the trees I'm always afraid will fall off the hill in my back yard onto my house, which I'm not sure makes me feel better or worse since this one was alive and healthy.
The tornado victims will have a long way to go before they have homes again and recover from all the damage.
