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

Self Medication
I have some extra Prednisone from my last prescription, so I took some today. It has reduced the pain some but the swelling seems about the same. At least that's better. I guess I was sort of hoping for cancer and chemo lite. Maybe it doesn't exist. Some people have many more side effects than I'm having, so I'm thankful it's not worse and wish it weren't for others either. Thanks for being there. I don't feel like having company or going places right now, but I enjoy hearing from you.
