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

Snow
It's been snowing some today which is exciting and pretty but isn't sticking enough to keep us out of school tomorrow. I'd like that since I wouldn't have to use a sick day or have a substitute. The plans are made and on my desk and everything in separate folders for each class though, so it's really OK for tomorrow, I guess. Besides, if we have enough snow to miss school, I might not be able to make it to the hospital since I can't get out of my neighborhood when it snows because of the hills. I could get out very quickly onto the by-pass which wouldn't really be a good idea.
Janey said I sounded upbeat about all the health problems. I wasn't the last two days but am getting that way again. My neck is still sore from the fine-needle aspiration, and it also aggravated the lymphedema and fibrosis. I was pretty bummed out and had to get through that. I feel better about it now but am still really tired of all this and ready to move on past it.
I've been irritated with myself for not getting back on track with my diet. I went to Kroger yesterday to help me with this and plan to watch Dr. Phil today since it's about weight loss. You'd think I'd be motivated enough by the lower numbers it caused before. Guess I'm human!
