There is nothing I love more
than discovering something
when I am diving for deeper wisdom.
I am not a scuba diver,
but I am a wisdom diver.
I love digging through writings
ancient and modern
looking for that buried treasure
which may have gone
undiscovered.
Usually, when I curl up with a writing
I find things,
which I will use
but don’t necessarily make
me go wow.
Every once in a while,
I will discover a word,
a sentence,
a thought
a gem
someone has buried
in the treasures
spilled out before me
which are invaluable,
and change my life.
While I appreciate all
I have discovered,
it is those moments
which transform me
and stop me,
and make me just sit in
amazement of
my discovery.
I am grateful for all I discover,
but those moments,
the ones that stop me,
those are the discoveries
I remember
forever.
