"Labour not to be rich".Says a whisper in my ear today from Proverbs.
"Wisdom is thoughts downloading it's way to the soul".
Proverbs-not ............. it is a Piproverb.
Here I am on 'Me Med Tours'
sitting on my bed in Med Mansions, Parga, Greece.
Listening to U2 on my fab music portable player for my iPod.
The Journey we call Life. hmmmmm
Wisdom is from a word 'Chokmah'
It means 'Skilfulness in dealing with the job before us'.
Sounds like 'life' to me.
Wisdom is used 37 times in the book of Proverbs.
Must be important eh?
Life is a beach.
I overheated today.
Left the very hot beach feeling a bit sick and had to have cold flannels on my head and body until I cooled and reduced my body temperature.
Always wear a cap in the sun. As a little boy I once saw my Dad with heat stroke when we were on holiday in Blackpool. I thought he was dying - he was frothing at the mouth - bit like having a fit.
I chilled and slept and feel fine now.
Never done that before.
New experience - I will learn from it.
Wisdom in the sunshine.
I listened to 'Miss Sarajevo' by U2 today.
Powerful.
Extreme.
First time I have listened to since I heard it played live last year in Oslo.
I flew that way and caught the stadium experience with my friends Torgrim and Oyvin.
They did this song for the first time on this tour.
It hit me hard.
So powerful.
As the song started I had the flashbacks to the Sarajevo horrors of death and slaughter.
I have the video tapes still.
I used them often in discussion and awareness raising.
I wept over them.
It was all coming back.
Then I wondered .........
I wondered ...... as the Oslo live song - how the song would be completed without Pavarotti singing his solo .......
And - as it came to that powerful moment in the song ......... Bono started to sing that solo with a wondrous and powerful operatic voice.
I wept.
