What is the nature of true wisdom?

BEYOND KNOWLEDGE

Let life carve its lessons
To teach what its about
True wisdom dwells in spaces
Tween certainty and doubt

Know when to speak or listen
And know what you don’t know
Always tend to learning
Know when to stay or go

Remember truth can be complex
When to act or wait
Reduce your neighbors’ suffering
Always love not hate

Give well considered counsel
Help folks find their way
Remember we all make mistakes
Navigate the grey

Gently hold opposing truths
Show patience and be kind
Not from books or borrowed thoughts
Let life change your mind

Balance your competing goals
Know your tongue’s a knife
See the patterns, skip the game
Serve not self but life
