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

Sigh
I just got home from having a massage at Debbie's. I don't have to have more MLD, but she is going to do some at the beginning of the massages from now on. I'm planning to have them regularly and am looking into what I can give up in order to afford them twice a month or every three weeks. I've found a few things so far, but I do like my gadgets and entertainment. We think if I keep having them regularly, it will help strengthen my immune system and keep the lymphatic fluid flowing which will definitely help. There are many benefits of massage. Also a reminder from your friendly MLD spokesperson that it makes healing much faster and more efficient before any kind of surgery as well as for anything swollen. I can tell a difference in my sinuses after the massage today, and they've been bothering me all week.
It's getting cold and rainy here with some predictions of snow. How is it in your part of the world? How are all of you doing? I'm behind in news from some of you and wonder what's going on. Email or call and let me know!
