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

Entertainment
The Golden Globes are on tonight and is one of the awards shows I always watch. I've never missed the Oscars since my parents let me stay up to watch them, which was probably around 10. We went to movies as a family, and I went with friends to matinees and then later on dates. I've always been a movie buff. I usually cry during awards shows (one of the things Brian makes fun of me about) because I cry when I see other people being moved by something touching or exciting. When I need a good cry and there's no award show on, I guess it's Oprah.
I read that Richard Crenna died. His role on "Judging Amy" was so good and brought warmth to that character. His death will change the direction we thought it might go since his and Tyne Daly's characters were getting married. I was looking forward to his being on there and will miss him.
Even though I don't watch sports much at all, I do know the Titans are playing tonight in a game that will determine whether they will be in the Super Bowl or not. It's sort of hard not to know that if we watch the news. Since I like to look at Jeff Fisher, I stay in the room while the sports news is on more than I used to or don't change the station quite as often. Anyway, I wish them well and hope they make it. Maybe Jeff Fisher will shave off that beard.
I have that appointment with Dr. Burkey tomorrow and hope I can get out of my neighborhood. Earl had no problem with it at all since he has a Honda hatchback with 4-wheel drive. Not only are there hills in all directions, but the Mercury Mistake won't get very far in any snow. Maybe I haven't mentioned this before, but I plan to go back to Hondas and never leave again. I'll try to make my appointment, but I called them Friday to let them know I might not be able to and didn't want to tell them at the last minute. They said it would be OK since it's because of the weather. I hope I can, but if not, I can reschedule. I already know it's not thyroid cancer and can wait about other news. Once I get out of this neighborhood, there's no problem getting to Vanderbilt. Somehow it never occurred to me when I bought this house during spring. Live and learn. Right?
