wisdom

I will plant seeds of wisdom
I will raise fruits of wisdom
I will make wisdom-flowers bloom.


(Poem by Souun Takeda once again & photo by Hannah, taken in the garden of Ginkakuji Temple in Kyoto, Japan)

I liked the format of my previous post, with a photo and poem, so thought I'd do another one! I love this idea of wisdom-flowers blooming. Wisdom can seem a very dry word, but the image in this poem gives it life and movement. "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding... Her ways are pleasantness and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her..." (Proverbs 3:13,17-18)
