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

Work and Plays
I'm in the last days of teaching. Credit Recovery is going fine and will end for me June 28. Zelia Pass called from the Dickson Vitamin Center (the name I prefer to Feet & More) to let me know when she wants me to work. The 29th! I'll go in then for training and then work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday on my own since they'll all be at a conference. I think she wants me to work about one day a week typically and then when they are out of town like this. So my first four days after retirement, I'll be working at my new part-time job. Molly said it sounds like I don't know how to retire. The extra money and discount on supplements will come in handy for sure now that I'm on "a fixed income." That's what retirees say, you know.
There are times I really wish I had enough money to fly to NYC and go to plays. This is one of them. I would LOVE to see Spamalot. I'll be watching the Tony Awards Sunday night wishing I had seen the plays. Spamalot has 14 nominations with Mike Nichols (director), Tim Curry (King Arthur), and Hank Azaria (Lancelot, et al) being three of them. I'd also love to see Kathleen Turner in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Going to Broadway plays is one luxury I'd definitely like to indulge. Maybe it can happen.
