Answering Bryan Berghoff's questions 2/26/16







Bryan's questions:             
1.WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SIMPLE ANSWER AND A WISE ANSWER?
2.WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND WISDOM?
3.WHAT IS THE WISDOM OF A TREE?
4.WHEN DOES WISDOM CALL?
5.WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
6.WHAT IS SHE CALLING YOU TO DO?


Nancy's answers:
                  1.   A simple answer is incomplete, frail, shallow. Wisdom is deep like a well that never runs dry.
                   2.  I go to Nature; God; inside myself; memories of words of wise old people I knew as a child and classics such as The Bible. New works of Literature as well. 

3. The wisdom of a tree is that it is there and it is quiet and powerful with an inner strength. It also bends and sways in a storm, and when it finally does break and fall, it continues to nurture.
4.   I hear Wisdom call when I take time to listen. When silence surrounds me.
5.   There is no audible sound as we know it when Wisdom calls, it is simply a yearning, a longing to learn more.
6.   What she is calling me to do is listen and think, learn and live.
