When the knowledge we accumulate

            falls to pieces

            overnight

When the image we have of ourselves

            seems to explode

            right in front of us

When we find a way to pick up the pieces

            and go on

            and live

            and love,

            we are on the path of wisdom.

From time to time I get to walk with you

            through the valley

            of your fear

            and on the mountain of

            wonder and awe

As I watch you pick up the pieces

            and go on

            and endure

            and even overcome

            and see you grow

            in wisdom

I remember that

            God has always

            surrounded you

            and walked with you

And I remember that God also

            walks with me

            and surrounds me on my journey

            wherever it leads

            always present

            always loving

            always delighting in who I am

            and how wise

            we have become
