Crossed through many rivers, creeks and stream, the landscape continuously changed as we continued our journey from Talkeetna to Denali. This region has some really impressive, grand landscapes #Canon #Landscape #Denali
The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.

Barred Owl on an early morning walk in the woods.
I've wondered if owls are actually as wise as they're reputed to be .... apparently not! It's quite easy to train a surprising array of wild birds (including my good friends, Harry, the heron and Sally, the egret) to respond to a certain food stimulus, but not owls.
Apparently, as with people, we think they're wise because they look smart. It's their eyes ... an owl's eyes are enormous compared to the size of its head. In humans, large pupils are equated with focusing and attention being paid. An owl's eyes are also fixed in its head. In order for an owl to move its eyes, it must move the whole head which gives an owl an intelligent gaze as it scans the surroundings.
Perhaps the earliest known link between owls and wisdom is their association with Athena. The Greek goddess of wisdom is often depicted holding an owl. Because of their close kinship with the night, owls are also associated with magic and witchcraft. Merlin was known to have an owl, and in the Harry Potter series, young wizards communicate by owl messengers instead of instant messengers. Nice trade off...:-)
Say to wisdom:
“You are my sister”; and may you call understanding itself “Kinswoman,” Proverbs 7:4. I find it interesting that the Good Book refers to wisdom as a woman. I tell you true, I strive to be that woman. Oh, I found these pretty little flowers while hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains.

“Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.” – Stephen R. Covey
Finding a large enough stick always seems to help get one’s life balanced, and if not it can make a big splash.

“Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.”
Sandra Carey quotes
Veteran SGT Raymond McClintoch shares some wisdom P-I Mike Kranston, a boot in the Rampart division. The boot has no one to ride with tonight so he's stuck with the SGT for morning watch.

"You're riding with me tonight. You will drive. I want our windows down and the AC on full blast. Drive smooth, not fast. Smooth is fast. Fast is not smooth. I take my coffee black and you will buy tonight's fill. Take the job seriously, don't take yourself seriously. If another officer needs backup, you drop anything you're doing and go--no hesitation and we drive balls to the walls to get there. Watch your six, have my back and don't talk during the tour unless it's about the situation we are going to. Got it?"

EXPLORED!!! (Jan 30, 2010 #212)
It was only till I had gained some accomplishment within my own tradition was I able to transcend it and perceive the blazing compassion and wisdom throughout all traditions equally.
While ultimately the basis of all transcendent wisdom and love is spacious self-sprung creativity of the Dharmakaya, it's indiscriminating expressions serve as the basis for all phenomena.
"Joining with the blissful space of me, your mother,
Roused by the helpless laborings of instinct
To mingle with my mind, your minds, as one -
This blessing gives you the Empowerment of Wisdom.
Hold the nature of this bliss unwavering,
And mingle emptiness therewith.
The spotless state of bliss-emptiness is nothing else.
Experience, O my sons, the supreme Joy of the Great Felicity!"
Introduction to the Four Joys by Yeshe Tsogyal
"To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not."
Akhenaton
Have a great Sunday!
“Looking into something with clarity and precision, seeing each component as distinct and separate, and piercing all the way through so as to perceive the most fundamental reality of that thing." Henepola Gunaratana
