There is no limit to what Wisdom will shine through to reach us. Silence, nature, art, music, words, and connection are some of the prisms through which the invisible may become briefly visible to our subtle senses.

What we will need for the terrain ahead is mysteriously sprinkled around us days, weeks, months, or even years before we actually need it. There is a resonance we cannot quite explain—a knowing that doesn’t seem to conform to our linear timeline and context.

We recognize it.

Father Bruno Barnhart distills the essence of Wisdom:

“If we require a definition, let us call it knowing: a knowing that is personal, experiential, and tending toward union with that which is known.”

Wisdom cannot be known with the mind alone; it ripens in us, as us.

You are known, and you know.

Wisdom practices help us fine-tune our senses and cultivate the inner stability to be present to reality, even when it is hard.
