Famous Rejection

Fame and rejection come hand in hand.
In all times those who find fame one day often suffer rejection the next day.
St. Ignatius of Loyola prayed for poverty, shame, insults and rejection.
He suffered all of these yet became a famous saint.

In nature the lowly worm, rejected by many as creepy and slimy,
Is the central focus of vermiculture or Growing Power.

The lowly shall be exalted and the famous humbled.
This is the upside down world we live in.

In the garden I find the balance between fame and rejection.
Fame is the flower that blooms so beautifully.
Rejection is the compost pile of waste materials.
Fame needs rejection to stay humble,
Rejection needs fame to keep hope alive.

Life delivers both.
The trick is to balance both at same time,
To enjoy the fame and rejection.
To suffer the rejection and fame,
To be famously rejected.
