WE COME TO IT

 

The truly deep wisdom of life is ever present, always available. 

But it doesn’t come to us. 

It is the still small voice that appears from out of nowhere because it is everywhere. And it is everywhere because it is the invisible essence and energy of all that exists. We unlock its experience at ever deepening levels by opening ourselves to its presence around us and within us. And we do so through intentional humility, vulnerability and awareness.

Like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24) who “came to his senses” and it changed his life forever. . . we come to it. Thankfully, it cannot be forced, cajoled, seduced or manipulated. This is not to say we can’t request it. Rather, once we do, we must consciously open ourselves to whatever it seeks to teach  us--which is often not the answer we expect or desire--or it’s the one that may have been right in front of us all the time. 

Like the wind, we cannot see it, only its effect. 

But once we become aware of it, we see and experience its life-transformative power wherever we are, whomever we are with, and whatever we’re doing. To put it in traditionally Judeo-Christian terms. . . 

. . . wisdom is the kingdom of God at hand.

LET’S GIVE THE WORLD & OURSELVES A GIFT.

LET’S THINK ABOUT HOW WE THINK ABOUT WISDOM.
