Poetry has a wonderful way to draw out of us our true self before God. Read the following poem slowly, prayerfully. Listen to what God might be saying to you today about His will for you. The Wisdom of the Deer …a deer standing before me shamelessly telling me by his presence through his very manner of being there what I did was all I could do what I did was truly all I could do. the deer didn’t move for what seemed like the longest time kept standing there unflinching regal as if the fallen leaves adorning his great hall were lush earthen carpet and I had been grated a brief audience with a nobility whose lineage was pure and undefiled and then I understood the wisdom of the deer the secret to my own dignity all I have ever been is all I will ever need I must look back And respectfully awaken the hero of my person journey the whole story imperfections and all is where the treasure resides no need to be in the future out there in the next big thing I already have one thing a communion with my self. -Kent Osborne, When Widsom Come What phrase, line most speaks to you today? Why is it so challenging for you, for us, to live out the wisdom of the deer?
