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

Cancer Relay Information
I found out much more about the Cancer Relay last night at the team leader meeting. First of all, it's an overnight event to illustrate that cancer doesn't sleep. It's from 7:00 pm Friday, June 6, until 7:00 am Saturday, June 7, at the DCHS football field. Mark your calendar! It's really going to be a lot of fun. Those of us who are night owls will be able to stay up, so let's all take a big nap before heading out there. Someone from or representing each team is supposed to be walking around the track all the time. The survivors do the first lap and then we take turns. We are supposed to have a theme and decorate our tent accordingly. I already have an idea. Glamour is involved. Can you guess it, Cindy? Speaking of feathers (I was - mentally), some of you will be hearing from me soon asking you to join my team. We'll have the most fun people there. Others will flock to our area just to be near us.
A committee plans on-site activities to take place every hour. We don't know what they are yet, but the ones they do at other places sound fun. The teams compete to raise the most money. There are ways there to get points, and prizes are involved - good ones. The Nashville Relay is at Vanderbilt Stadium Friday night. If any of you are in the area and have a chance, drop by and let me know what they did. I'm not sure if I'll make it there or not but will try. At first I sort of dreaded getting involved in this, but now I'm looking forward to it and know it's going to be lots of fun. We all know it's for a good cause since it raises money for the American Cancer Society.
If you're interested in being a team leader, on my team, or on any team, email or call and let me know. If not, please come to the Relay and take part in it. It's a community event. Come by and say hello and have fun with us. Keep us awake!
