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

Hurry Up and Wait
Today went well. I slept off and on during the treatment. A man in the chemo room also has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I've met quite a few people there and had some interesting conversations with them. A woman tody lived in Holland for over two years since her husband was with Dupont. I told her I emailed a couple of people (Elise and Gerko) from the Netherlands and that we read each other's blogs. She really liked living there and enjoyed it so much more than she did living in Luxembourg. I'd like to live in England a while and travel to other places in Europe from there. See how easy it is for me to veer into another Walther Mitty part of my life?
Columbo has been biting his fur out again - not too much but some. He might have to get another lion cut if he doesn't stop doing it. He's the strangest cat I've ever had, and that's saying something!
