The Branch of Wisdom Grows old Dies Falls on a little boys head He opens his eyes In a new way For he has felt the weight of wisdom Upon his shoulders

Deep, Arthur! Better to have a bruise from the weight of wisdom, than drift away on a bunch of hot air! This was a brevity that sticks with you. It encourages one to stay rooted and firmly grounded ... to go out on a limb, but with caution. You really branched out with this piece ... okay I'm done now ;)

Wise words indeed..with wisdom comes a responsibility to do the right thing. I also find that the more I know..the more I realize how much I don't know...Yet I am so grateful for the wisdom that has come, each time I complete a trip around the sun...peace, jill

Thank you, and those are wise words indeed, The more I know, the more I seek because I know so little! Hugs
