I'm so glad I'm not teaching on April Fool's Day and was glad when it was on a weekend. I'm not a fan of practical jokes anyway. Just another good thing about being retired - there are so many!
I HATE practical jokes because I hate looking stupid. I use to dread April 1st when I was a student - but I never thought how bad it might be for the teachers.
Brian used to go around with his shoe untied on April Fool's Day. When other students would tell him his shoe was untied, he'd say, "Oh, yeah, sure! I'm not falling for that!"
That kind of thing I can deal with but also hate practical jokes on me or anyone else. Candid Camera and Punked weren't that funny to me. I don't like for people to be embarrassed like that. Then if they don't take it well, they are called bad sports.
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.
