You need to go past a good idea to find novel solutions. Mistakes are just branches that went the wrong way. Jesus said, a seed scattered on concrete will not grow. But when you don’t know you don’t know. And the way the world works is to seek new routes out Growing our understanding of what’s possible as we prod the depths Laid out before our species on this planet Who have limited eyes to unravel its complexity But those who work loosely like the filaments of a fine flower Can open chasms through pinholes, worlds behind doors. Alice was able to discover an imagination through a locked door She simply had to figure out how to open it. Sometimes we can find doors that seem to have something special behind them Only to find more when you get through. Or the stranded who when cresting a hill only finds it was only the first forever Hope springs eternal, only after we’ve realized the facts of life That some things fail, and the more we understand how we fit into the world The more we can thrive.

If we stop looking for ways to tie the world together, reconfigure, reshape Without destroying undiscovered possibilities We will no longer exist, with all meristems cut Those special units at the vanguard of discovery
