This section can help us utilize bits and pieces of life experiences, good or bad, anecdotes, snippets of reflections, humor, parables, or simple common sense, to better figure out how life works and grows. Some of it may be smelly, like manure, slippery and nasty, like the decaying organic materials in compost, or just ugly to look at. Yet, in spite of their sometimes unpleasantness, it provides valuable lessons and insights that can lead to personal growth, if applied appropriately. Life isn’t clean and neat. It does not come nicely packaged in clearly labelled containers. It often does not even come with directions, recipes, or formulas. However, if we know how to glean and use life’s droppings, we can create the compost of wisdom that feeds growth. So put on your gloves and mask and be prepared to get dirty.
