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

Hair
I have an appointment to get my hair cut today. It's so thin that I'm not sure what Terry can do with it, but if anyone can, he can. It's like a dandelion that someone blew half off. At least I have some hair. I'm thankful for that.
I've enjoyed hearing from you and knowing what you're doing. Thanks!
When I try to post these updates, I get a message that they are unable to load the file and to try back later. I noticed that the times are wrong on when I wrote them too. Blogger is having problems.
