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

Lymphoma
I found this on a site and thought some of you might find it helpful.
What is Lymphoma?
Lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma are all blood-proliferative cancers. Lymphoma is a general term for a group of cancers originating in the lymphatic system - a vital part of the body's defense against infection. Lymphoma can be further categorized as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's disease. NHL is a diverse group of diseases affecting many different types of lymphocytes at different times in their maturation. When a lymphocyte undergoes a malignant change and begins to multiply, cancerous cells start to outnumber healthy ones leading to tumors. Lymphoma results as the tumors enlarge, usually in the lymph nodes but sometimes other sites in the body.
Approximately 70,610 cases of lymphoma will be diagnosed in North American in 2001, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer. The incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is increasing 3% to 4% every year. One out of every forty-seven men and one out of every fifty-seven woman will develop lymphoma in their lifetime. Over the past 15 years, the incidence of NHL has increased 50%, and its cause is unknown.
