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

Advice
There's a commercial for a VW Passat, I think, that has a guy whose future self speaks to him giving him advice. Since I'm trying to make decisions about what to do now about retiring, jobs, etc, I wish my future self would speak to me and let me know what to do. For a long time I've wished we had rewind buttons and could go back and change something. It would probably need to have a limit on how many times we get to use them, but now I'm wishing for the future me to give me advice instead of the rewind button if we could only have one of them. What would you choose?
