Mapping the Terrain
Let’s describe something new,
a special sort of map.
One that starts with here and now,
one with mysteries to unwrap.
If you start by drawing
exactly where you are —
every little detailed bit,
every little scar.
A collection of the pieces
of the here and now.
Question to include that mark?
Include it anyhow.
Make this a masterpiece,
a perfect, complex chart.
The drawing you create
will be a work of art.
Maps reflect the truth,
they show reality.
You will learn that you surely are
beautiful to see.
You will see your splendor —
gorgeous and recorded.
Study this map in earnest and
you will be rewarded.
Thank you to Con for this inspiration…maps and mapmakers…
