O Wisdom,
flowing from the mouth of the Most High;
reaching far and wide,
disposing of all things sweetly and mightily.
Come teach us the way of prudence.
Sofia, beautiful - skin deep;
heart deep; blood deep; gut deep.
The beauty of a crone; shining wisdom;
flowing compassion; crafting prudence.
Sofia, midwife of hope; knowing beyond; seeing within.
Tasting the humours on her tongue;
ferric blood; salty tears.
Sofia, counting the quickening in her heartbeat;
Holding the moon in her embrace;
Calling Hope in her song.
O, Come...O, Come.

Lovely call for wisdom that I imagine builds up in intensity and then falls into tranquility ("O, come"), and then silence. I really like the classical imagery.
ReplyDeleteWe need wisdom. Sometimes I feel like we need it more in these present times than in the recent past.
One definition is knowledge with compassion - worthwhile at any time, Jade. Thank you
