Walking on the pleasant Trail this morning, very quiet first thing, overlooked by crags…
I’m sure some people would vote for a Wisdom Party (though quite a promise to live up to). But the Wisdom Party in Sunday’s Lectionary (Book of Proverbs) is the other kind of party… “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed….” That surprises me – to see wisdom likened to a party. Surely the point of a party is to be unwise. However (1) Wisdom is not the same as prudence. (2) Maybe what’s being offered here is an alternative party, confounding expectations. Less surprising, and great to see, is wisdom personified as a woman.
