BIRD'S NEST
A BIRD'S NEST ON THE GROUND
Beauty is patent sublimity. Being in our direct sight, beauty is easy for all people to view its virtues: for all to perceive, to intuitively commune with in body-soul: secretly, subtly.
Surface gold is also beautiful, but gold also enriches, its value-added to beauty beats beauty by itself any day. For "Beauty is only skin-deep."
Don't fumble the football. Secure it.
Easily-caught game tastes just as sumptuously, satiates just as much, at lesser energy or materials costs.
Therefore taking a straighter, more direct path to beauty, or to what is also innately valuable, is as just as valorous, as using a bevy of various alternative paths for a more elusive prey, more risky, uncertain quarry.
A bird's nest on the ground fattens.
Appreciate what is at hand, nearby!
