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

Intermission
My next appointment with Dr. Spigel isn't until July 2. Treatment won't begin for another month, so during this intermission I plan to be social. (yes and clean my house) Let's make plans for lunch, movies, or something! A friend and I saw The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and enjoyed it The first Renegade Independent Film Festival is at Belcourt Theater on Thursday, June 20, which I plan to attend. It sounds interesting. Windwalkers is also on my list to see and stars Nicholas Cage and Adam Beach. It's about the Navajo Code Talkers in WWII. NPR had a fascinating interview with one of the code talkers.
I watched Erin Brokovich again on cable last night which was fun. I can't believe they cancelled The Education of Max Bickford!
What have you been doing?
