He gathered in thoughts.

He hears, he forgets,

he sees, he remembers,

he does, he understands,

he whispers, he speaks,

he knows, he reflects

on wisdom gained.

Profound. We learn from life-experience- hearing , seeing, doing, expressing, hopefully understanding...wisdom penned concisely and perfectly. I laud the purity of this excellent poem!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So much said in few words. A brevity of excellence and deep thinking. When we gain wisdom, it becomes a treasure shared freely, available to all. You are marvelous. ...:::)))

wisdom is not always the best, as they say, ignorance is bliss.

[andrew mitchell]
