 Like a favorite aunt who comes calling when you re on the edge of disaster, wisdom s arrival is always welcome. Bringing perspective and a wealth of graceful options, she saves the day. Wisdom cannot be legislated, purchased, or stolen. She is seldom possessed by the young, and never assured in the elderly. Wisdom is the product of a life well-lived, with roads less traveled by, friendships nurtured, and burdens carried. Like a long-suffering mother, wisdom knows deeply her own, and cares for them through the twists and turns of this harrowing journey.
