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

Spring Break Appointments
Well, my appointment with Dr. Ross went much better than expected. My triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, liver functions, and weight were all around the same or less than in December. Imagine what they'll be when I actually do what I'm supposed to!
I got quite a bit done today - cat food and Frontline from the vet, appointment for car service, grocery shopping, reflexology visit, and on to Brentwood for my first counseling session for this PTSD I've been having for a while now. I really like her and believe she can help me. Since I'm off for two weeks and will have more trouble scheduling visits, I'm going back Thursday and twice next week. This should help me take care of myself more. I want to be not so mental when I retire, so I won't hide out in the house all the time. There are preparations of all kinds for this retirement!
