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

Report
Mother did really well and is recovering from her surgery. I spent the night there Monday night and all day Tuesday. Butch and Janelle came by, and we all had a good visit. So great news about my mother who continues to amaze me.
Breaking Up
If you ever change phone service from BellSouth to another company, you'll know what I mean about how they are about it. They sent a card and a letter about my breaking up with them. Wow!
