So it is, that the wise grow into the wisdom planted within,
drawn to it, and like the birds of the sky, spread their wings, taking flight.
As they journey, they move with great care and purpose beyond what moves
the circus all around them. Somehow, they know, even when they don’t,
even before they understand, the gentle call of their maker,
“This is the way. Walk in it,” takes hold, becoming the whisper that
stirs their heart, compels their mind, turning word upon word into deed,
ever intent on giving greater glory to One, living life,
and living it well, day and year in and out, ever homeward bound.

So it was, so it is, so it will be, for all ages, for those who came and went, and are to come.

But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it,
who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. – Matthew 13:23
