Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams. And it is well you should.The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea. And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure.And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line.For self is a sea boundless and measureless.
Say not, "I have the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth.
"Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have found the soul walking upon my path."
For the soul walks upon all paths.The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.
(An excerpt from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran)
I dedicate this to my fellow bloggers, and to the readers of our blogs, because thoughts of you bring this to my mind.
And because we are all in this world together.
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
Proverbs 16:16 KJV

I wouldn't mind a little gold and silver though.
But you see Hermit, if you have wisdom and understanding in abundance, usually the gold and silver take care of themselves.
I know, Hermit..but wisdom and understanding is worth lots more! :)
DC..good thought...thanks!
Jan, here's a thought. Wisdom, at present time, is one of the few things left that our government hasn't found a way to tax. Gold and silver will always be a cash cow for our buddies in DC.
