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 Butch
Mother just called and said the surgery went well. They fixed the blockage where the stint is and used some kind of radiation seed(s) to clean out that other blockage they didn't do anything about last time. They told Butch it wasn't anything he did or didn't do but that this happens in a certain percentage of patients. He's been really good about his diet and has been going to rehab. Best of all, he quit smoking. Dr. Blazer sent him to Centennial instead of St. Thomas this time. Butch is in ICU and will get to go home in the morning - he's doing really well. Mother is already home. Andy and Angela are spending the night with Janelle.
