GETTING WISDOM


I’ve been wanting to “get” for a good many years now – get a good bike, get the perfect computer, get this, that, and the other thing that I think would make me happy – but I’m slowly starting to see that wisdom is what I really need to get, and that I can get it with no commitment of money and no major struggling or striving. Wisdom is wherever I am, waiting to be bought for nothing. It’s as small as the simplest thought and as grand as the great oceans, and it’s perfectly free for the taking. Wisdom is as present as dust settling on the sidewalk, sunlight lying on my shirt, breezes blowing beside me. It’s everywhere and waiting to work for me, and so easy to get.
