A spoonful of pure gold
Needs a roomful of ore:
Dug, crushed, ground,
Reacted, leached, extracted,
Purified with electricity, with fire.

An intense pleasure of my profession as a chemical engineer is the practice of balancing. Not the balancing of a body in movement (although I do know that pleasure – in dance and in Aikido), but the balancing of accounts of the earth itself. Everything that comes out of the earth goes back into it. Or almost everything.
