Sunday of Week 28 in Ordinary Time

I entreated and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
I esteemed her more than sceptre and throne.
Pray that I may truly see.
That I may know I am not alone.

I was dreaming that my candidate had won the race , I was no longer on the shelf .
I expected some job at least .
Then he just offered me a portrait of himself .
Where was the power yeast .

Then some important person paid tribute to me .
But I realised I was dead .
They were just lighting a candle to me .
All ambition was as heavy as lead.

So take prizes with a pinch of salt
Realise that all is in default.

……..

Where then is wisdom
It is not in this world alone
It is somewhere else

…….
