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

Experiments
Well, I've been cooking today and cleaning a bit. I made some chili and tried some new ways to do it that I read about. I hope it's good. Usually I have a way I make it but decided to branch out. Also made some refried bean soup my cousin Emily likes. I think she got the recipe from Weight Watchers. It sounded good and just involves opening cans except for chopping onion and bell pepper, so it's easy. I've been listening to Dr. John, Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt, and Keb' Mo' and have the windows open. Feels good. It feels wonderful to feel good again!
