"We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take us or spare us." –Marcel Proust

Many thanks to my colleague, Ellen, who emailed this quote to me recently. This gets exactly to what I believe about remarkable wisdom–that it comes as a result of a Hero’s Journey, our life experiences that make up our story and who we are.

When we have given full expression to our remarkable wisdom, we truly have taken a Hero’s Journey–the gift that comes back to the community is the wisdom.
