Drinking Wisdom

I went to the wilderness By following her voice I drank from her wisdom A cup chosen by choice Preconception abandoned I went with a clean mind Predudices, experiences Often make me blind Love the replacement In a World wracked with pain Hate is often chosen Over and over again A few make a difference Love spreads flavor like salt If some of us begin helping It won't matter who's at fault

Well stated Richard! I like the idea of drinking in wisdom. Wisdom and Knowledge in action is needed to combat the ills that ail the world. The idea of collective responsibility resonates well with wanting to heal the world. Nice job!

Wolves hunt in packs, lions hunt in prides.if we''re going to survive we need to push our differences aside.

"Love spreads flavor like salt", loved this verse, salt is the key of taste, without salt all food end in plain, as same as life without love ~> plain :D
