When I read an absolute nugget of wisdom it goes right to the core of who I am. There is no thought required. Just gratitude for recognition.I guessed that!

Personally I've always thought that no one person or philosophy has a monopoly on wisdom, as we all share the same human nature. Being able to apply that wisdom is another matter though, it's challenging for me on my own anyway.
I think Christine may be a fan of Emily Dickinson. Nothing wrong with a little more beautiful verse to inspire hope in the world.Little Light
There is this little light within,
Her name is Hope,
And I know that as long as
I can feel her there,
Just beneath my skin,
Sending her waves within
the labyrinth of my mind,
She is snugly at peace
within my heart,
And I have a chance.
