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

The tale calls our attention to traps and poisons we too easily take onto ourselves when we are caught in a famine of wild soul.
