The Wisdom of Life is Full of Wisdom, Full
of Life
The Wisdom of Life is powerful in its
simplicity. The poems in the book are both touching and unique.
Every poem seems to come from a place of kindness and thoughtfulness.
Yet, they surprise with their keen observations on the human
condition.
Some of the poems express thoughts that no one
seems to have ever spoken aloud before. The sentiments expressed are
true, nonetheless, and they make for interesting discussions. There
are certain poems in The Wisdom of Life that at first seem as
if they will be ordinary. Just then, the poet will add a line that
puts a new twist on an old idea that changes everything.
The illustrations in The Wisdom of Life
are beautiful. It becomes a game to try to guess the subject of the
next poem by looking at the illustration. It is sometimes possible to
get a hazy image of what is coming, but never possible to guess the
complete picture of the poem until it is read. Also, the different
translations are interesting, and they would help anyone who is
studying one of the languages given.
In The Wisdom of Life there are poems that
reveal truths about perfectionism, opportunity, anger, weaknesses, and
worry. The book of poems gently touches on happiness, kindness,
relationships, and life itself. The Wisdom of Life is
wonderfully honest and full of life. It is a delight to read.
