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

Great News!
We got the results from the biopsy of the polyp, and there are no signs of any malignancy! Major relief! This is how I thought it might be and am so glad. Mother is going home today and was told to keep eating what she has as long as she can tolerate it. That's what I told her I'd do and am glad the doctor said it since she follows what they say. I just thought since she's 84 and hasn't had any problems from the diverticulosis by now that she could eat what she wants to. If there's a problem with anything, don't eat it again. Makes sense to me. However, I might not be a good role model about a lot of this.
I might spend the night or at least stay until her bedtime tonight and maybe tomorrow night. We'll see when I go by after school.
