Yet with his feet on the
ground is good too

A short typed poem: 'The greatness of man / Is only his wondering / in the clouds', balanced by 'Yet with his feet on the / ground is good too'. Handwritten notes below read 'fiNAlly through', 'MoLoKAI', 'PAILolo CHANNEL' and 'TSUNAMI WAVE'.
The poem weighs dreaming against groundedness and accepts both. The place notes and 'fiNAlly through' suggest a crossing near Molokai, though their link to the poem is provisional.
