"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

Trust in the Unexpected

Trust in the Unexpected -
By this - was William Kidd
Persuaded of the Buried Gold -
As One had testified -

Through this - the old Philosopher -
His talismanic stone
Discerned - still witholden
to effort undivine -

'Twas this - allured Columbus -
When Genoa - withdrew
Before an Apparition
Baptized America -

The Same - afflicted Thomas -
When Deity assured
'Twas better - the perceiving not -
Provided it believed -


Emily Dickinson
The Poems of Emily Dickinson (Franklin), 563
