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

Visits
Paige and Carl are coming over to visit a while today. They are close friends and moved to SC over 10 years ago. We all miss them, and their daughters and I are hoping they'll move back here when Carl retires. That would be great. It's going to be great to see them today. We're going to lunch, and I want us to go to Studio 123 since they haven't been there.
I'm still feeling sort of blah today and am ready to bounce back. I have another Rituxan treatment Tuesday which will probably be the last one. The scans later on in December will let us know. Butch is still doing well with his recovery.
