When Manure is Dumped On Your Life

When manure is dumped on your life, compost it.

Shovel the compost, turning it over and over;

Let it rest awhile to cure.

Repeat shoveling and resting . . .

Until the stink is gone.

THEN it’s ready to fertilize the dream that fulfills your destiny. –Scrap Lady Sharon Barnes

to attain to a higher mode of existence, gestation and birth must be repeated; but they are repeated ritually, symbolically. (Eliade, 1963) The context of this symbolic action is always sacred space.
