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

Busy Weekend
I won't be around here in Blogland this weekend because Tina and I are going to the Nashville Screenwriting Conference. I attended the first one ten years ago but none of the others since then. That one was great! We're really looking forward to going.
Larry Wilson is conducting a workshop tomorrow afternoon. He wrote Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, and Tales from the Crypt, among others. He's as quirky and hilarious as you'd expect. Can't wait for that!
 I'll let you know how it was. What are you doing this weekend? Let me know, so I'll have something to read when I check my blog. You know how I love the comments!
