Wisdom's Secrets Posted Sep 18, 2009 02:20 PM
There is a vast difference between knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom is a deeper way of knowing. Wisdom is the art of living in rhythm with your soul’s urgings, your life’s callings, and the unknown. The challenge that each of us face is to balance our wants with our possessions, and our ambitions with our capabilities. Wisdom is the way that we learn to decipher the unknown, and accept its presence as a welcomed companion. Wisdom is the art of being courageous and generous with the unknown; of being able hear its whispers, and recognize its treasures. Wisdom is the grain that comes from the mill of life. Wisdom balances the known with the unknown, the suffering with the joy. It is a way of linking the whole of life together, in a new and deeper acceptance of life’s mysteries. Wisdom and vision are worthy partners. The spark of creativity, the fertile imagination, and the rush of excitement, are the birth children of the marriage between wisdom and vision. Wisdom resides within the territory of the soul. The soul is shy. It must be invited to come closer to you to glimpse its beauty and power. When the harsh light of intense mental scrutiny tries to grasp and capture the definitive answer, the soul’s wisdom rushes to conceal and hide itself. Fall, the traditional harvest season, is an excellent time to seek a renewed relationship with that still, small, voice of your inner wisdom. Quiet any insistent mind chatter, in favor of listening for the whisperings of your deeper longings. Allow your vision to be awakened and new possibilities to come alive. It is the courageous person who is able to identify active fears and work with them as forces for creativity and growth. Developing the ability to step into the unknown and greet this emptiness with poise and grace attracts that which is new, surprising, and unexpected. Space and time are the usual foundations of our identity. Space separates us. Time separates us. The past disappears. The future has not come yet. All we have is the little stepping-stone of the present moment. Stop, look, listen and allow your inner guidance to light your way.

Hi Susan,
Love this post and "It is the courageous person who is able to identify active fears and work with them as forces for creativity and growth."
Thanks for sharing and for really going into it.

Dear Dreaming, I like your contribution. "Knowledge is PROUD, Wisdom is HUMBLED." Knowledge is transferable, Wisdom is not. What worthy contributions. I like your style! Warmly, Susan

"Knowledge is proud he knows so much. Wisdom is humbled, she knows no more." Or something like that i read somewhere.
Also, "Knowledge is transferrable, Wisdom is not."
