Intuition and Wisdom: Reflections from "The Book of Qualities"

5 Minutes of Peace

Welcome to another episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, your moment to reflect, recharge, and renew. Today, we explore a reading from "The Book of Qualities" by J. Ruth Gendler, delving into the personified qualities of Intuition and Wisdom.

In this excerpt, Gendler invites us to imagine Intuition as a houseguest who transforms her surroundings. Intuition, despite a spotty employment record, brings beauty and order, filling the home with unique, cherished items and nourishing, beautiful foods. This presence turns the narrator’s life inside out, highlighting the transformative power of embracing our intuitive side.

Next, we meet Wisdom, who wears an indigo jacket and takes contemplative walks. Wisdom's quiet mind and reflective nature allow her to understand the world’s dualities, contemplating the edges where things become their opposites. Through these vivid characterizations, Jendler bridges literature and psychology, encouraging us to see our emotions in new and inspiring ways.

Thank you for spending these moments of peace with us. Remember, we are all connected on this path of love, service, and peace.
