When I Met Wisdom: A Tale of an Unexpected Encounter

Dear friends, today I want to share a story from my past, a tale that has shaped my understanding of wisdom. It’s a story about a chance encounter with a famous person, but more importantly, it’s a story about the true essence of wisdom.

Setting the Stage

It was the summer of ’72. I was a young man, full of dreams and aspirations, working as a backstage hand at a music festival. The air was filled with the sweet melody of guitars and the electrifying energy of youth.

The Unexpected Encounter

One day, amidst the chaos of the festival, I found myself face to face with none other than Bob Dylan. The man himself, standing there, guitar in hand, lost in thought.

The Conversation

Mustering up the courage, I approached him. We spoke about music, life, dreams, and disappointments. But the most impactful part of our conversation was when I asked him about wisdom.

“What’s your take on wisdom, Mr. Dylan?” I asked. He looked at me, a thoughtful expression on his face, and said, “Wisdom, son, isn’t about knowing all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions.”

The Lesson

That statement has stayed with me all these years. It taught me that wisdom isn’t about accumulating knowledge. It’s about understanding the world around us, questioning the status quo, and seeking truth. It’s about knowing that we don’t know everything and having the humility to learn.

Final Thoughts

So, my dear friends, remember this: Wisdom isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. It’s not about being right, it’s about being open to growth. And most importantly, it’s not about what you know, it’s about what you’re willing to learn.

Until next time, keep asking questions, keep seeking truth, and keep growing. Wisdom is a journey, and every step you take is a step towards understanding.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
