\nthose voices I sometimes hear
\nwhen all is very silent,
\ntheir messages so clear
\nand my imagination open
\nto the keys they hold
\nto at least some of the mysteries
\nof this life I’m blessed to behold.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nas they’ve passed it down to me,
\nI’ve heard it through the wind
\nas it’s rustled through the trees.
\nI’ve heard it through the ocean’s waves;
\nI’ve heard it whispered in the breeze.
\nAnd I’ve heard it from those
\nwho knew for they have listened well
\nas it came to them from the source
\nand they have passed it down to me.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nto what others have to say,
\nfor knowledge truly is power
\nand in learning what we can
\nfrom others who’ve unlocked
\nat least some of the doors
\nthat were sealed up so tight.
\nAnd in listening to what others say
\nand learning something from them,
\nI find that I’m getting to know
\nmyself a whole lot better
\nand this path that I’ve been on.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nfrom the then up through the now,
\nwords flowing from the past
\nthrough legacies passed on;
\nwisdom’s voice speaking out loud,
\nunmistakable words for all to hear —
\nWe can be whatever we want to be.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nand continue to share their wisdom with me,
\nthe perennial student . . . .<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\n“Magi of the Wisemen of your life.”<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
