Proverbs 9:1,2,5,6
Wisdom has built her house,
she has hewn her seven pillars.
She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine,
she has also set her table.
“Come, eat of my bread
and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Lay aside immaturity, and live,
and walk in the way of insight.”
Wisdom comes slowly
a gradual dawning that emerges
to change perspective
to soften the edges
of all our binaries
It seeps in like an infusion
that slowly affects its host
like yeast in bread and wine
leavening, fermenting, transfiguring
wherever it is afforded space to breathe
To capture its nurturing essence
it is necessary to linger
tasting the bread of compassion
and savouring the wine of abundance
allowing their goodness to infiltrate
the lives of the host and the guest
creating a fertile plain
in which wisdom may flourish
for the life of the world.
