Spirit tells me that we live and share with each other

As teacher and student of wisdom, and that

Wisdom is understanding while knowledge alone

Is not.

Knowing what is what is not the same as knowing

Why what is what and how to use that knowing

To serve self, community, and Life.

A farmer usually knows more than what

To plant, when to plant, and where to plant.

Why requires understanding based on

Experience.

The same is true of compassion, He tells me.

The memories or personal pain compel us

To feel the pain of others, or we have not

Suffered enough. It’s as simple as that.
