Interpretation Poem by Janice M Pickett

Wisdom comes from experiences

that teach us about life
To be captured in a confined space
would restict our learning
and make us nothing more than
a show piece in a jar

Lessons can be taught by those
who have learned them before
For time brings with it, wisdom
Wisdom is not gained overnight
We must be prepared to accept it
from those who have the experience
That in turn makes US wise

Do not shut yourself in a Jar
there is no future there
Do not confine yourself to one way of thinking
There is no growth there

Be brave and open your mind to possiblilities
Explore new ways and new ideas
Learn how to listen
Learn how to accept and question
without conflict.

Do not shut yourself in a Jar
soon you will run out of air.
