Once upon a time when the Ponder children were little we kept some frogs for pets. We fed them Damn Crickets (so named as we were always heading to the pet store to buy more damn crickets). Little amphibians would eat one and you could see it moving around in its stomach!!! ak!! That cured us of keeping frogs as indoor pets.
Wow! Melissa had a tarantula that ate crickets. The spider creeped me out and then hearing the doomed chirping crickets made it macabre. I'd keep the frogs outside, too.
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.
