for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me.
There is in her a spirit that is intelligent, holy,
unique, manifold, subtle,
mobile, clear, unpolluted,
distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen,
irresistible, beneficent, humane,
steadfast, sure, free from anxiety,
all-powerful, overseeing all,
and penetrating through all spirits
that are intelligent, pure, and altogether subtle.
For wisdom is more mobile than any motion;
because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things.
For she is a breath of the power of God,
and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into her.
For she is a reflection of eternal light,
a spotless mirror of the working of God,
and an image of God’s goodness.
Transforming wisdom
Bringing the hidden into the light
Making the unseen visible
Ceaselessly revealing
what is beautiful
and true
Calling forth
what is tentative
to reveal conviction
Breathing power
into vulnerability
releasing truth
and goodness
and insight
Gently unveiling
hopes and longings
carefully protected
from the harsh light of judgment
Encouraging dreams
to emerge
and be entered into
playfully
creatively
nurtured
and sustained
by wisdom
that does not diminish
but enhances
all that is
a reflection
of the light of God
Blazing a trail
of renewal
and emergence
by its pervasive
life enhancing
spirit
flowing
out of the heart of God
Enhancing
and emboldening
the journey of faith
mobilising tiny steps
of possibility
into leaps of adventure
fuelled by risk
made possible
by the knowledge
of the accompaniment
of the unshakeable
wisdom of God.
