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

Rainy Day Fun
Mother and I went to the Health Fair (lung and cardiac) at Horizon Hospital this morning. It was interesting to look around the cardiac section, but I would like to stay away from hospitals for a long time. We got free tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, EKG, lung capacity and oxygen, and weight. They'll send the results in four weeks. I saw several people I knew and enjoyed that. Now that I feel better I need to start getting some exercise. I enjoy walking and have some yoga tapes. It would give me more energy and make me feel better. I'm sure they catch several things wrong with people with this fair. Drug reps were there with booths and tables too.
After this, we ate lunch at O'Charley's and then went to see Chicago. I really liked it and will probably buy the DVD when it is affordable. There aren't many movies I want to watch several times and therefore don't buy a lot of DVD's and videos. I looked the director/choreographer up on the Internet Movie Database and noticed he has a history of musical theater. I wanted to see Chicago when the Broadway touring company brought it to TPAC and hope I can if it returns. This is what Roger Ebert wrote in his review of Chicago: " And the choreography doesn't copy Fosse's inimitable style, but it's not far from it, either; the movie sideswipes imitation on its way to homage."
At the rate this rain continues and with all the flood warnings, we might need to look around and see who's missing and could be on the ark.
