Beautifully written, Brenda. I love how you capture the quiet tragedy of mistaking progress for wisdom, and the hope that she’s still waiting for us, barefoot and forgiving.
Hi Brenda, You’ve put words to a feeling many of us carry. We’ve gained so much, and yet somehow drifted from what steadied us. Wisdom isn’t about knowing more, it’s about remembering how to hold what we already know. ~ Nerra ⚔️⚡️⚖️
This is beautiful — and true. It made me think of that old saying: knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. We’ve gathered so much knowledge and yet forgotten how to live wisely. The line “we built what was never broken” really struck me — such a powerful reminder of how far we’ve drifted from what makes us whole.
All that “progress” really pulled us away from what keeps the soul grounded. Such soft words, yet they hit like truth; makes one want to kick off the shoes and go back to the soil😊
Thank you for this piece it really got me thinking. I appreciate the way you explore the gap between intelligence and true wisdom. Your voice is clear and meaningful. I’m glad I read this today.
This is breathtaking, both a lament and a reminder. You’ve captured the quiet tragedy of modern life with such truth and grace. I felt every line. The ending especially moved me; “wisdom isn’t for sale. She’s outside, waiting for us to take off our shoes.” What a perfect way to call us back to what’s real.
Thank you. I appreciate your words. Lately some false selling has hit home. The lies wrapped up in velvet words, selling products that are worthless, just left me so bereft. This piece played on my mind and this morning I put it together. 💞
Beautiful article. We do tend to overcomplicate things, don’t we 😅
Yes, I believe we do😅. Thanks 😊

This is truly glorious, Brenda. As I sit here and type on my laptop, I know that what waits for me out there is serenity. Time for a stroll 💜

Greed has undone society in every aspect.
I prefer to embrace “enough” always.
Thank you for succinctly expressing just how I feel, Brenda.
