Today's Gift
One cannot have wisdom
without living life. --Dorothy McCall
Understanding circumstances, other people, even
ourselves, comes with the passage of time and our willingness to be open to all
the lessons contained within a moment. We must be willing to participate fully
in the events that have requested our attendance. Then we can discover the
longed-for clarity about life and our role in it. Immersion in the moment
accompanied by reflective quiet times promises a perspective that offers us
wisdom.
We all long for happiness, an easier life, and
wisdom. We learn so slowly that both happiness and the easier life are generally
matters of attitude. Therein lies our sought-after wisdom. How much simpler it
makes living through even our most feared experiences when we have acquired the
wisdom to know that the mind we carry into the moment, any moment, will be
reflected in the outcome.
It takes patience and willingness to live fully
enough to reap the benefits that accompany wisdom.
From the book The Promise of a New Day by Karen Casey and Martha
