Wisdom is one part mystery. :- Doug.

Wisdom is the sky full of stars knowledge seeks to count. :- Doug.

Once we reach a step just beyond complexity we have entered the realm of wisdom. It may involve something more than logic and even feeling. :- Doug.

What are the dimensions of wisdom? Whoaernyh can we explore? Whoaernyh is one word to tug us beyond who, what, where, when, why, and how: beyond one lifetime. :- Doug.

Slower, deeper, gentler: perhaps this is where wisdom resides, or at least thrives. :- Doug.

Let’s develop some questions and things beyond questions to help each other go deeper. The five Ws and one H are too surface. These ways we will only know about after we have used them. :- Doug.

We need to give lots of time for story; perhaps for other ways to experience wisdom: poetry, dance, conversation. That feels spacious, much better than cramming more things into the time-space. :- Doug.

What are our challenges as elders? :- Doug.

What if elders were guardians of the future? What if we brought vigilance? What could such vigilance reveal to us? :- Doug.

What is the role of music, dance, dreams, poetry, and all the arts in eldering? :- Doug.

What are the challenges our world faces, long-term, enduring, touching generations, that we elders can affect? :- Doug.
