I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophetsWhen you're pregnant, you go out and buy every single book; you have this stack of books on your nightstand, but there was nothing that was preparing me for anything even remotely resembling what my life was going to look like.
I like your thoughts there. We never are prepared. Life shoves on us what it deems we need, we are only able to make the best of what we get handed and in most cases, we reject them.
