Wisdom
 
 
5 ... the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I should give you." 6And Solomon said,... 9  "Give Thy servant an understanding heart to judge Thy people and to know good and evil; ..."
1 Kings 2:10-12; 3:3-14

There is a difference between happiness and wisdom:
he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so;
but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool.
                                                    ~ Francis Bacon

 
 
 
Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers.
                                                    ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
 
 
 
 
 
Our Conservation Group from the Denver Art Museum had a delightful outing to the Buffalo Bill Museum on Lookout Mountain.  The Director, Steve, had invited Carl to bring our group to view  “Found in a Belgian Basement:  Lakota Artifacts from the 1935 World’s Fair” which will remain at the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave through January 24, 2010.  It features a selection of 40 artifacts from the “ghost collection,” ranging from elaborately beaded vests to moccasins and headdresses.  Most of the items were made especially for the Brussels World's Fair by Lakota families who used them for performances and then sold the entire collection before returning home.

Some are wise, and some are otherwise.
