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.

Astrologically Funny

I had to laugh when I read my horoscope on one of those online places. Since I've been building up to all this housework, I thought it was interesting. I've been looking at my clutter and deciding what I'd want to take with me if I moved. I've also been exploring options about another job and all kinds of things. So this was timely advice. LOL

Libra
It feels as if there's too much of everything. You're in a mood to simplify or consolidate, and making choices is not something you care to do right now. Even if you're faced with the world's most tempting project, consider refusing extra work. You really do have enough on your plate as it is. Maybe a quick physical inventory will help you. Take a few moments to tidy up your visible surroundings. Seeing what you have and what you need to do about it will surely give you more peace of mind than staring into a tangle of loose ends.
