The Examined Life
Life
is profound if you’re awake to see it. It’s one thing to draw from
culture, it’s another thing to be drawn so deeply into the culture that
your true nature disappears. Wisdom is not merely something to be gained
with old age. One can be wise in every stage of one’s life. To manifest
wisdom means simply to step back and see—to reflect, inquire, be aware,
be disciplined, and be focused not once in a while, but all of the
time, moment to moment. This life is precious and fleeting. Pay
attention.
