Right you are. I was thinking, however, that this "silent" wisdom that we
are talking about might actually not *be* knowledge. It's more like
intuition... or "gut feelings". I wonder if that would be a good way to
draw the line between one type of wisdom and the other... spoken wisdom is
knowledge which has emerged from it's "fact" shell and moved to a higher
plane, whereas silent wisdom is that which comes only from long experience
-- not that you know something, but rather that you sense it... almost an
ESP kind of thing.
(our bodies sense a heck of a lot more than we are consciously aware of, so
it doesn't surpise me that it usually pays off to listen to what you feel)
