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

Homecoming
Yesterday Mother and I went to the Dickson Methodist Church for chili and then watched the homecoming parade. The weather was pretty and it felt good to stand outside and enjoy it. Then we went to Volume One Bookstore and walked there and back from the Methodist Church. That was my exercise. I need to start walking and building up my energy.
Not sure about today and what's going on. I'm still sorting through papers and getting things organized.
