day 261

 "'Where then does wisdom come from?

    And where is the place of understanding?’” Job 28:20

 

it is there,

at the very bottom

of your endless soul,

that the spring of

discernment begins

to trickle until it becomes

a river to wash away

our petty preconceptions.

it is the cracks

of your heart, where

we can peer through

to that place which knows

every ache, every loss,

every tear, every loneliness,

that we find the way to true

discernment
