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

Plans
Brian, Melissa, and I are going to this concert Wednesday night at the Belcourt. We're going to eat at Fido's and then go to the concert. I really like Maura O'Connell and look forward to hearing her, Bela Fleck, and the others. Brian said he heard John Prine might make an appearance, too. That would be great!
Tomorrow night is our monthly cancer support group meeting. It's an add-a-dish event. Not being domestic other than being born in this country, I volunteered to bring the plastic and paper products - dishes, utensils, cups, napkins, etc. I try to manage to get on that list even though I could take Kentucky Derby pie or fruit. Sometimes I do that and cut melons and add various fruit to the bowl. I'm a person of extremes - it's either healthfully luscious or deliciously decadent. I'm giddy with spring!
