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

Where Credit is Due
I got an email from my college roommate about Hillary. Here's part of it:
OK! Enough of this Hillary bashing. What's a girl supposed to do? What she's done is as impressive as what Obama's done. Give her some credit. She's right. It's very impressive that she got all those votes. It was extremely close, and they both brought voters in who have never been involved before. That in itself is wonderful and encouraging. So well done, Hillary, on the race!
Better, Barb?
