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

wimp
It's dangerous for me to have a forum and time to babble. Beware!
There was a piece on the man who has done the commercials for Emma's Flowers in the Life section of the paper today. My daughter-in-law Melissa works there and is in the picture with him. Melissa does fantasy art and has written and illustrated a couple of children's books we hope get published. This is the url to her webpage: http://www.melissagay.com
This Prednisone gave me a systemic yeast outbreak which Candex I get from Healthy Habits is just beginning to help. My hiatal hernia causes pain in my chest, and some ofher problems from this are pounding heart, labored breathing, sweating, and thrush in my mouth. I'm mentioning this to ask you to pray for minimal and manageable side-effects, if any. Medicine really works on me since I haven't been a drug person, smoker, drinker, or been sick enough to build up any tolerances. I can't take pain pills since one of them knocks me out for three days and don't drink caffeine after mid-afternoon if I want to sleep. I'm going to stress to Dr. Spigel that it won't take as much for me. This is the part that concerns me the most.
I'm already whining and haven't even gotten to the hard stuff yet! I think I'm probably going to be a wimp during this.
