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

Hectic Morning
When I got out of the shower this morning, water was over part of the floor. Just taking a shower is a bigger deal than before since I have to put an aquaguard plastic cover over my bandage to protect it from water. I put down towels and fortunately it didn't go too far. Mother was here to help tape my bandage. I called Porter Bros. who sent someone over to fix it within a couple of hours. I just hate those low-water toilets and wish I could get a different kind on the black market somewhere. The EPA thinks they save water, but not if you want to save plumber bills.
Mother and I got several things done today including laundry we hadn't planned.
I have an appointment with Dr. Spigel tomorrow and with Dr. Burkey Wednesday.
