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

More from Brian
Mom looked and acted like herself again last night which was a great relief to all of us. The surgeon said that they are going to keep her in the hospital for another three to five days. Mom was glad to hear that. This will give her a chance to recover from the surgery and to get her body back up to the level it should be in order for her to undergo more chemo. Still no word on what will change on that front. Also, the stay in the hospital will allow the doctors to keep an eye on the swollen area in order to operate again if necessary.
I'm headed out the door now to see her again. The next update will either be tonight or in the morning.
