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

Appointment
I had my last appointment before chemotherapy today. It will begin August 5 and be administered at Horizon on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings. Then every three weeks for six times. Dr. Spigel asked me about the Prednisone and said I definitely had the side-effects from it. Then he said he was glad to know I responded to it so well and that I might not have to take it again since there are other things that work well, too. I hope so.
