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

Day Off
Butch won't get to come home until tomorrow. They need to watch him longer and make sure everything is OK.
I didn't post the answers to that last trivia quiz because I thought there might be others who want to answer.
I'll be out and about today taking care of things while places are open. I've been on the low-carb diet and am feeling better. My triglycerides were very high and glucose was higher than it needs to be, so I'm trying hard here. Don't what to be diabetic or have heart disease. I told Dr. Ross I'd been celebrating overcoming cancer by eating whatever I wanted to and having lots of chocolate. He said that was fine and had its place but now I needed to take care of my heart. He has a point. What I didn't mention is that I've been doing this much longer than that, but I'm sure he could tell. :-) So when I get my insulin receptors back to normal and have lost weight and all that good stuff, I'll be able to branch out some in moderation. The main thing is that I'll be healthier and feel good again. It's been so long since I've felt really good that I've almost forgotten how it is.
