Find gold? Dig where you stand..


Widening circles

Heels down, boy
Plant them hard
Anchor yourself
Lower your eyes

See the turf
underfoot
notice the firmament
holding you in the balance

a widening circle
comes from firm footing first
and slow strides after
in all directions

Gold is never found
above the horizon
but under the belt

So heel down boy
stand first
step then
outwards

in ever
widening circles

A great poetic reference- a widening circles. I guess It's a matter of self realization that we will be able to find the beauty in us, right? Nobody can do it for us, but we ourselves, I may add. I hope I am right of my understanding of your work. I guess I have to start digging now and later widen my circles.
