Maybe Grannies have something to learn?

It is very easy for a Granny to think she has a bit of wisdom just because she has been around for what must seem like a long time. But wisdom is only wisdom when it has become a part of you and you don't even know you have it.  I have read and heard many wise things and they are helpful but perhaps the only real wisdom is realising what great big holes there are in your wisdom package.  For instance, today my life partner, aka Richard, picked up and read this passage from the twelfth chapter of the Gita, verse 13-14:

He who hates no single being, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from attachment and egoism, to whom pain and pleasure are equal, who is enduring, ever content and balanced in mind, self-controlled, and possessed of firm conviction, whose thought and reason are directed to Me, he who is (thus) devoted to Me is dear to Me.

So, here is the Christmas task and the New Year resolution and a lifetime work because I can see great big holes in the wisdom fabric of my heart and mind.  Meditation must help this lifetime task of unpicking every conviction I have.  So good luck to all of us, him and me and Happy Christmas from us both.
