A broken heart
surrendered to healing,
in time becomes a fountain
of wisdom, grace and love
for a lost and bleeding world.© 2014 Dennis Ference

Wisdom
Quote on Love
Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor:
hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.
– Hafiz
The Wise Man and the Pilgrim
The wise man who lived at the foot of the mountain asked the pilgrim, “Why have you made such a long, arduous journey to come to this place?” The pilgrim replied, “Because I wish to learn what I must do to be wise like you.” The wise man looked deep into the pilgrim’s soul and spoke with compassion, “Go back to your home and begin your journey again, this time searching first within, and return when you understand that Wisdom is not a prize to be earned but a purging fire that will transform your ego self and make you vulnerable to the demanding ways of Love.”

Wisdom
Wisdom looked deep
into my soul and said to me,
“As you commence your search
for my dwelling place,
clothe yourself with humility,
wonder, and awe,
and leave behind
your cloak of certitude
and dogged need
to be right.”
