My parents had me baptized in the Rock of Ages church one of my grandmothers attended. They had me confirmed in the United Church of Canada (Methodist). And somehow I turned out Unitarian (again, they were crafty and we went to their church in Baton Rouge). How come I don't get tagged with all that? And how many other Americans have changed churches, faiths, etc? The GOP has to stop chasing after silly issues. Or they need to learn to denounce their nutcases and get the media to pay attention. They lost my parents, after 50 years, they managed to chase them out.
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.
