res·o·nance - noun
"Electricity- that condition of a circuit with respect to a given frequency or the like in which the net reactance is zero and the current flow a maximum." This definition of resonance as electricity is a great scientific way of the truth - we are all energy. What frequency do you choose to resonate at?

Wisdom = Love + Intelligence

Thanks to Kathianne Lewis, I now better understand the word wisdom. I've always pondered the meaning of the word wisdom, particularly as it shows up in the 12-step serenity prayer: "God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change (you). The courage to change the things I can (me). And the wisdom to know the difference." Now when I combine serenity with love I see that there is no love without serenity. If I am not at ease, how can I love? Surely there's something missing that is keeping me from loving fully. Next, as much as I'd like to believe love solves everything, I am beginning to appreciate the mind/the intellect more - or at least give it equal reverance than I have in my explorations of the heart. Courage does not come for me if I am not firm in my conviction of what I desire. That to me is intelligence. My intelligence. It's what's right for me - not what the books say, not what someone else says but the truth that I know resonates from within. So now when I combine those two powerful being states - I am love and intelligence, I am wise. It clicks for me - how about you? As always, please share your perspective.
