So often, we celebrate the young,
those who have accomplished much
and taken little time to get it done.
Study them, you should
for tips and tricks,
looking for anything good.
If there is something deeper you seek,
not just knowledge and strategies,
but wisdom to make life complete -
look to those with a lot more years
of living,
of loving,
those who have cried a river of tears.
Sit at their feet,
look into their eyes,
listen to their stories,
you may be surprised.
Know this in choosing to follow wisdom’s path:
seeking her takes more time
than
a podcast,
a webinar,
an article
about how to make another dime.
Wisdom isn’t instantly clear,
you may have to let it
ferment,
percolate,
marinade
in you
for
days,
weeks,
and
years.
Then, at the end of your days,
if you follow her path,
you will have a life well lived
because you learned to enjoy everything that lasts.
