I have seen wisdom

I have seen wisdom...funny but the word wisdom has appeared in the church newsletter this week, the tumblweeds kids calendar and in an email from a friend who has no idea I am taking a class on wisdom.

Today however I observed it...in a group of teachers, reasoning a problem, coming to a positive conclusion and making changes to acutally effect change. Potentially the situation was ugly, very ugly, it could have been racial, accusatory and ended in severed relations between many people. Instead it was a meeting where people came together, decided what was best for all involved and made plans to move forward. It was my first observation of collective wisdom. (I am sure it has happened before but I didn't know how to see it) And it didn't happen in the siloed, weird, twisty hallways filled with the same company employees, it happened with the combined effort of many different teachers, schools and departments looking for a common goal.
