What is Wisdom?

Writing by Justin Frank

By Member of The Mystery School

The Spontaneous Writing Circle is a peer-led group in The Mystery School. In timed sessions, a member will read a poem or excerpt of prose after which the group write what's present to each of them, unedited and uncensored. The intention is to have the words appear while any effort to create them is surrendered. Each person then reads their writing to each other, and no critique is offered. This absence of distinctions and value judgments has created an open and lively space of ease, appreciation and creativity and a constant experience of wonder. This piece was written in one of these circles.

What is love? Love seems to come in many forms. Is not delight a form of love, its radiant form? Is not joy the same? We delight IN, we are joyful FOR. How about gratitude? Does it not arise from experiences like joy and delight? Do w e not appreciate those we love, what we delight in, what we are joyful for and what we are grateful for?

Perhaps one form of wisdom is to see the manifestation of love in the myriad forms it takes. To enjoy each form for what it brings us. To share the delight and love for every form with others, in the w ay that most suits their ears, their hearts so that WE may be joy’d in unison.

Shared delight is magnified love. As we share the forms of love it radiates out of us calling forth that resonance in others. Love invites, love beckons. Its presence melts the concerns of others and they are opened to share into that radiant space. They are welcomed home into the collective heart, w here they can rest and play in the loving arms from which they once wandered out to discover the delights of every form of love that graces the world.

The wise ones know . They allow each to find their ow n path, taste their ow n delights and gently nudge each soul w hen it fails to see love and joy in the many forms in which it manifests.

Go out and play, find love, taste delight, share what you find with others and then come home and tell us of your joy.
