Oh, you're turning into a mystic on me, eh. Nice thought waves emanating from your beautiful brain, Rick. Very tao haiku. Love and peace to you.

I live in a constant fog, I am forever frantically searching for more...knowledge. I still hope I am wise, I love knowledge, but that's not s atstic thing.

very interesting and makes me ponder if you are thinking as I do. We live in such a techno world of great knowledge and facts at our fingertips, but so much of it is garbage, like all the lies and semi-truths out there that got people to hate one person more than another in our last election. Great work.

To me, there is a clear distinction, one can have all the knowledge in the world but still not be wise, lost in the fog so to speak! On the other hand, one doesn't need a great deal of knowledge to be in the clearing of wisdom! In my opinion /|\

To many lack wisdom, Rick, even the old. Like the verse Hugs Eve
