Kathy took this picture while we walked along Waterton Lake’s beach. She thought it would inspire me. I wondered what might emerge. Last night, I scribbled ideas into my journal about wisdom and its sources. I enjoy and enjoyed listening to stories told by my parents, Kathy’s parents, our grandparents about life in past generations, and many others I come in contact with each day.
Flotsam on the shore
Washed up and unusable
Life’s wisdom wasted.
Polished piece of wood
Fine tuned by life’s travails
Reveals the wisdom.
