Twice Blessed

We have a Wisdom passage for one our lessons Sunday (see below).

Wisdom offers a double blessing. It is the knowledge we carefully save and pass on because we recognize meaningful life depends on it. And it is our ever-growing capacity to integrate wisdom from the past into life right now.

Calls to mind a snippet of an old Moody Blues song I heard through earphones lying on my dorm room floor: 'A beam of light will fill your head and you'll remember what's been said by all the wise men this world's ever known.' That's the first part (and it was part of the beginning of a conscious spiritual journey for me).

But what exactly is this capacity that allows us to integrate all those wise words--and how do we get better at it...? Mmmmm. Something to think about for Sunday.
