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

R2T2
Yes, that's right, Round 2 of the four Rituxan fun and games and treatment 2 of four. So, R2T2 it is. I got finished an hour earlier than I did last time. The reason it takes so long is that it's diluted and has to be infused slowly to give the immune system time to adjust. Otherwise, it will fight the antibodies. I slept most of the time today since the Benadryl makes me so sleepy. I managed to get finished early enough to go to Sisters and get some lunch to bring home with me. I'm going to go eat it now. Are we having fun yet?
