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

Question
I've had people comment on my blog because I posted a link to theirs and thank me for linking to them. How do they know? I understand how we discover if someone visits our site since I have a tracker, too, but don't get how they know about the link. This has puzzled me for quite a while. Do they have something I don't know about and would like on my blog because the only way I've ever known if someone linked mine is when they told me they did it. Inquiring minds want to know.
Btw, friends and family who haven't commented for a long time, let me hear from you. Comments, emails, calls, or cards will all be fine. Thank you for your time and attention. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs. :-)
