comfort, Dis

 Wisdom seems hidden. Nay, invisible.

Is this a reflection of our inability to perceive it or the nature of where wisdom comes from?

Either way, following the natural affords only the material rewards - which are necessarily ephemeral.

Thus, wisdom is in the unnatural - or in its own category. And we have to choose some degree of discomfort to be wiser.

Perhaps we gain wisdom by seeking out discomfort. Just enough to grow.

bias, confirmation

You see what you look for. If you look for reasons you are wrong, you will find them. If you seek reasons why the world is beautiful, you will find them, too. This comes to a head when you let undesirable thoughts inform what you look for. Your brain likes to confirm what it hears. Choose carefully what you listen to. Guard your joy, your faith, your self, your soul.

perspective, obvi?

 Most of the meat of today is found in tomorrow. Today isn't about the meat. Today is about planting seeds, in the rain, in the dark, sometimes alone. And maybe never seeing the buds. But ... I think the buds may not be for you. Sometimes they can be ... but often you are just enjoying other people's faithfulness. Plant the seeds. Smile.
