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

Reprieve
My white count is low and I'm anemic, so I got a shot of Neulasta and one of Procrit. That should help. Also got prescriptions for more antibiotics. I talked to Dr. Spigel about radiation, and he said he didn't want me to do it now. He said I didn't need to drive to Nashville. Also after examining me, and noticing how this swelling is migrating down, he said it should move on down and disperse in my body. I'm really relieved. Mother drove me to the doctor and then went to get my prescriptions for me. I don't know what in the world I'd do without her. She's just amazing
