Miner

Whatcha diggin’ for?
Gold?
Ocean?
China?

Some finer ex
-pression of
heart
mind
old soul?

Here’s the dirt:
Keep close, I
think; that’s my
impression. Give
more than you
take, live small. Love
big.

Bridges are crossed
turned
burned
spurned
every day, Love.
Take one, or don’t.

But stop searching
in the mud
when the sky
is waiting.


Wordled.

    Yes always look up…if you take one…or more..there’s a chance all you will ever see is your feet! Love the playful use of words..almost contrasts the wisdom mined within

    There is some very meaningful word play in here:
    *The two versions of china/China.
    *Ex.
    *Press-on of heart, mind, soul.
    *Here’s the dirt (going back to the digging reference).
    *Keep a close eye. Keep a closed eye (so that your other senses work better). Also, have faith in the things you cannot see.
    *Give impression. Leave your mark on the world; make your footprint count.
    *Give more than you.
    *Love-take. Live small. (I LOVE this line.) Whatever you take, take it in love, as a lover of humanity and hearts. Also, live in a minimalistic way. (I think the title is really “Min-er,” an abbreviation for “minimalism.” Also, “minutes” … a lifestyle in which you make every minute count and still live a simple life that doesn’t hurt people or damage the earth.
    *Bridges are cross-ed.” This reminds me of that Point of Grace song, “There’s a Bridge to Cross the Great Divide.”
    *Every day, love” (verb)
    *Butt: Stop searching! LOL 😉 I guess this means, don’t spend all your time in the bathroom. And if you want your butt in the air instead of in the mud, perhaps you’re saying “do a handstand.” In other words, flip things upside-down, and have some fun. Or maybe this is just a really deep bow (or yoga pose). Or am I reaching with this one? 😉

  3. Or you could be talking to all the “minors” who need to listen to this advice! “Some finer ex” – HA! Doesn’t everyone look for that at some point! Though you hope they don’t become and “ex”!
    “Give more than you take” yes, great advice. Also, “take one, or don’t” – as simple as that. And the last stanza is great as well!

Use your words.
