Thought for the Day

One cannot have wisdom without living life.
--Dorothy McCall
Living life means responding, wholly, to our joys and our pitfalls.
It means not avoiding the experiences or activities that we fear we can't handle.
Only through our survival of them do we come to know who we really are; we come to understand the strength available to us at every moment.
And that is wisdom.
