Why we are at the edge of things

We are at the edge of things because wisdom itself takes us to the edge of things so wisdom may be renewed. We feel like we are reaching out, feeling our way blindly, simply because we are. We are at the beginning of the new story, and we are it actors and its raconteurs.

Dare not reify wisdom

We cannot, dare not, restrict wisdom to a thing, reify it, hold it up for people to see. Indeed it is not wise to do so. Wisdom has to keep transforming, keep drawing its people to throw out the old wisdom and invent some new.

Wisdom is not a lump on a shelf

Wisdom is not some lump on a shelf. Make no mistake: it rolls up its sleeves, it works, it creates.

Consider the long view before you write

So when you take a piece of paper and write your issue or opportunity, consider the long view before you write. You may not change a single word, but your thoughts of what is profound or sacred will infuse others.

There once was a gathering of a dozen sages in South Bend….

There once was a gathering of a dozen sages in South Bend. They were the last of the sages known on earth and they were intent on something: a bold new story. A procreation of sages, a bringing forth from wisdom meeting humanity, for the seventh generation. From that gathering little seeds were offered: insignificant things really. But O! the stories we can now tell! One sang, one danced—such a dance! Such a song! One painted—O the colors of life! One told new stories that bored into the people’s hearts. Plays and businesses and social actions and justice! Now it is up to you to enact what happened. Here.
