Wisdom does not belong to anyone.
It is part of life, all around and yet passing and moving. Sometimes fleeting, sometimes seemingly stable.
If we think we can claim or grasp wisdom, it is like a wind between leaves, it comes and goes as it pleases. It can be like sand between our fingers.
No one owns wisdom. It is like a cat.. if we hold too tightly it will jump off our lap, if we think we own it, it will let us know in no uncertain terms that it is it’s own creature.
We can merge in wisdom’s beauty and yet we must relinquish our entire identity to reside fully in its house. There is no me or you there. There is no individual left to be wise.
