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

War Zone
Had a pretty good night. Got some sleep but not enough. It was good being with Butch and Janelle last night. He looked and seemed just fine. His reports were good. They said he was in really good shape and that his heart was strong. He went in when he had early signs. They put in two stints in the blood vessels where he had the angioplasty, gave him diet advice, and sent him on his way. Amazing how quickly they can do things now. He'll be off work next week and plans to play golf since one of his doctors recommended it. I'd like to have heard that conversation!
My neck is so sore!!! It makes my whole face and chest hurt. It's hard to get comfortable.
Hope all of you have a great weekend!!
