A poem that explains that wisdom is built with others and emerges from the understanding that uncertainty is at the heart of our lives

Mabel Encinas-Sanchez

Synopsis:

This poem explores the meaning of wisdom

꧁-~-꧂

Wisdom is not only knowledge but a way of knowing

not only a talent but a way of doing

Wisdom arises from experience, reflection and passion,

from insights and deep understanding

from the abilities to engage in dialogues

and widen our consciousness to understand oneself

while we engage with the world

Wisdom brings together past, present and futures

Wisdom is sensible and sensitive

aware of uncertainty

in contact with compassion and love

Good judgement

Wisdom is magnificent and down-to-earth

a communal well from which we all could drink
