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

Fever
I just called the oncology office since my temp is 100, and one of the doctors on call returned my call very quickly. She was really nice, asked a lot of questions, and said since I'd just had one treatment, she didn't think it was my blood counts. She told me to take Tylenol and keep watching it and that it was probably tumor melt-off causing the fever. I told her mine were bulky and huge in my neck and that I had a sore throat. Since there were no other symptoms, she said she thought that's what it was and that I did the right thing to call. I feel better after what she said.
