wizard wisdom

I get to read about Wisdom at Rachel's wedding.  Wisdom sounds very very old doesn't it?  But it is bright and sharp and clear and around just as much as it was when it found it's way into King Solomon's sayings and into the Bible.  Wisdom is as old as old but maybe for you it is easier to understand when you think about Wizardry and Wisdom being connected by being the same and not just sounding the same.  I say that Harry Potter and King Solomon have more in common than you might have thought.  Wis, Wisdom, Wizardy are all about the deep magic which makes everything happen.  When Jesus, who is the source of the Christian religion was a boy he had to learn to manage this extraordinary wizardly wisdom.
"When he was six years old, His mother sent him to fetch some water and as he went along to the fountain, the container broke. He must have known that Mary would be cross so, he got wise and going to the fountain, spread out his own shirt out and filled it with water.  My shirt would leak, wouldn't yours? But He took it back without spilling. And when his mother saw what he had done, she was amazed and hugged him.
Another time, He had made twelve little birds out of clay on a Sunday when, where he lived, people weren't meant to make or do or make anything.  Another boy told on him (there is always one isn't there?). But He looked at the sparrows and said: Go on then, fly off and remember me in your life. And they flew off, not clay anymore, but flesh and feather.
This is a Wizard story.  It tells us about wizardry and wisdom.   Everyone has a bit of wizardly wisdom about them and we need to learn how to use it.  In our ordinary old lives, we should use wisdom to help us live with each other, to make certain that we don't use our own stash of wisdom power to do horrid things or say horrid things to each other.  We learn to stop the horrid words and actions just where they are and that helps everyone.
So, if you think that wisdom is something old and has nothing to do with the new wizard computer game, launched today, you are wrong, wisdom and wizard are as close as close can be!
