My perspective on wisdom may not be very pagan, but I don’t think wisdom can be defined by a perspective outside of itself. That being said, when I consider wisdom the only thing that comes to mind is insight. When I consider insight the only thing that comes to mind is looking deep within a quiet spaciousness. When I consider quiet spaciousness the only thing that comes to mind is the humility of not knowing.

Seeking wisdom on my spiritual journey finds me going inward, into the quiet, of no longer needing to know and trusting life simply as it is.

See you tomorrow 🙂
