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

Timing
Well, tomorrow is it. I know just enough to be nervous but not enough to know exactly what to expect which is probably good. Thanks to all of you who have sent email, called, and let me know you're thinking about me. That helps! I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. I'll post something on here as soon as I can. There are some places I want to go after the treatment tomorrow and hope to do that. Mother is going with me, so I'll be in good hand there. :-)
About timing - my neck is sore and swollen again and beginning to affect my swallowing and the way I feel in general. I've had a dull headache all day, so it's good to be getting something to help with all this tomorrow. I need it.
