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

Report
Dr. Spigel said he'd hoped for more progress than I'm having and didn't like the swollen neck. If it's not down by next week, I might have to have radiation on it. So let's all work on this! What we want is for everything to quit being inflammed and swollen in my neck. It's like a traffic jam or pile-up that keeps congesting traffic. So use whatever visualization to pray it out of there, so I can move on with this. I'm going to be taking more Prednisone which at this point is definitely preferrable to the way my neck feels. I don't feel as good as usual after treatment and am pretty wiped out. I'm going to go rest. It took around 4 hours for all the infusions.
