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

Out and About
I met my cousin Sally at Calypso's near 100 Oaks for lunch and we also went to Expo Home Design to look around. It's the first time we'd been there and really enjoyed getting ideas and seeing so much. Sally had some toothpaste to give me that she says is great. It's from the Essential Oils place where she orders a lot of different things. I just tried it and it has an interesting taste and good after-taste. It's supposed to work wonders, and I'm being really diligent about dental hygiene since chemo is hard on teeth, too. I want to survive this with the least damage possible except to the cancer.
Hope you all have a good week!
