Something secret
sprouts overnight
from the damp dark.
Rejection spawns insight.
A new direction,
a white knight,
a path not followed,
the idea takes flight.

Notes: Sometimes a blow that lays you out, a setback that opens a new crack in your heart also points to a new path. Exciting. Unsettling. A wild ride.

Eeek! A moldy oldy is not my aspiration, but it might be waiting for me, like a monster in the closet.

Lovely photo! Toadstool or edible mushroom? I sometimes see fungi growing after the rain but ours are usually poisonous mushrooms but awfully pretty.
