Reached for: Acacias

The details will sort themselves out. I'm holding the higher version.

Attention lives at altitude among ideals and perfect outcomes, while the ordinary machinery of a life stays unattended and somewhat beneath consideration. The habit was cultivated by parents who sheltered and indulged, keeping a child close by taking every rough edge out of the world, so the ground was never learned. What it asks for is one imperfect thing finished at ground level.

The Archetypal Form

Oisín in the land of youth, warned never to let his foot touch the old ground, and aged three hundred years the instant it did. The form implies a task of touching down before the fall does it for one.
