hello world
disquiet lisbon is under assault from
covid and has gone into a zoom mode
even took down my boy parker, and
gabe and maaza, all my road dogs
the old ghost had already been chastized
for not participating in events cause of a
covid woodshed mentality but now ive
gone full on traveling spirit on them
with no shame, m y 1st class everybody was masked
but after class students want to talk and the minute
they outsude they take the mask off and i start backing
up and trying to end the conversation, finally had to tell
them you want to talk to me it will be thru a mask, period
so after days of distraction i have settled in
on the grind for the hoodoo way, which
has become a meditation on wisdom
started off strictly commercial self help, a hoodoo
almanac, a calendrical year of transformation
representing a life of transformation / pilgrimage
but god help me I couldn’t stay in genre if you
paid me, its become a meditation on wisdom
1st it was little wisdomic life advice beats
well within my comfort zone but as i
began a review of the academic literature
on wisdom my understanding / articulations
on wisdom have gotten deep and satisfying
im excited because
1) I want to be wise
2) I want to forge hoodoo into a wisdom tradition
and damn near most impo: 3) its going to
inform the next revision of my memoir
reading damn near everything by sternberg
started off bookbub sent this book for $2
Wisdom: A Very Valuable Virtue That Cannot Be Bought
put wisdom on my mind but it was more quotes than substanve
at the same time i had reached 1st week june in my texrt, wisdom
week and felt like my observations were slack
so i dug in and found the following:
Wisdom: The Psychology of Wise Thoughts, Words, and Deeds
Handbook of Wisdom (05) by PhD, Robert Sternberg [Paperback (2005)]
The Psychology of Wisdom: An Introduction
The Cambridge Handbook of Wisdom (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology)
Wisdom: Its Nature, Origins, and Development
The Scientific Study of Personal Wisdom: From Contemplative Traditions to Neuroscience
i could go on but i think you got the point
and these just the ones i acually bought and gon read
ive skimmed thru dozens of shallow works, dozens
life is good
Be safe
