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

Tim Russert
I'm devastated to learn that Tim Russert died today. What a shock! He was just 58 and had a heart attack at work.
Watching Meet the Press and his reports and discussions on MSNBC won't be the same. I can't imagine election coverage without him.
I feel so sad for his family because it was obvious how much he loved them. He will definitely be missed by so many around the world.
There are some people we want to keep around. Tim Russert is one of them.
