Find themselves wise?
I like being able to solve problems others cannot, to have a tool (trick?) bag others lack, and being seen as the valuable one. But am I thus giving less value than wisdom? Put another way, would give more value to help others find themselves wise?

Wrap some silence around
In the teaching gather
Wrap some silence around
Each person purposely
To partake of who
Else we might
:- Doug.
