The process of wisdom
Challenge: How many famous quotes on wisdom are contained within this poem? Can you name the masters that I talk about? First hint- there are 5 of them.
Each day the new dawn draws its breath
In its setting just the same
Are so many opportunities
In understanding thus to gain.
Wisdom is the taking
Of the knowledge of the day
And coming to understanding
Not simply knowing what to say
Understanding comes from process
Of a fact that you impart
And turning it over in your head
And storing it in your heart
In this understanding
Comes knowledge that there is more
And this learning will continue
If you allow it, Evermore
What then will come, you ask?
As you travel paths less taken?
Why wisdom will begin
If your courage is not then shaken
For in wisdom comes an honor
For which courage is much needed
When a grain of wisdom you do hold
It must to grow,and thus be seeded
Into the mind of fresh perspective
A chance to impart its breath
A new young mind to guide and teach
For not share it would be its death
Wisdom is a process
Not for the the fools you see
The fool thinks that he has it
But the wise knows that not to be
In the ambiance of the breath of dawn
In the wonder of live's magic bind
Wisdom is a treasure
And a process of heart and mind
Facts will come to understanding
Understanding to knowledge grow,
Knowledge will come to wisdom
And then you too shall know
To begin this process so intense
A master once did muse
That the way to understanding life
Is first to understanding you
There is so much wisdom
And beauty in each day
Its more than I could simply write
Or even I could say
But the truest beauty of this all
Is wisdom is within
each and every one of us
So let your journey now begin
Open your eyes to this glorious world
See that which your heart implores
take the challenge to see the world
And wisdom can be yours
