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.

Pop Down

These pop-up ads are driving me crazy!! There must be a way to banish them. The thing on here that's supposed to suppress them isn't doing its job. It keeps a count of the number it blocks just to make me think it could be worse. I will not buy things from those places that pop up no matter how much I might like them. That means it could be a good idea for me to take time to notice where they are from before I delete them, I suppose.

Breathing

I'm feeling much better! The cough and sniffles linger - germ warfare, possibly. I have my moments of being a conspiracy theorist, so I have to make paranoid statements from time to time. Anyway, back to health issues. I can breathe. My lungs work. It's a miracle! Perhaps oxygen is getting to my brain now! I do have more energy and am in a better mood. Yay!!
