Inevitably when I discuss getting in touch with our wise selves, I call to mind The Secret Sits, by Robert Frost:  “We dance around the ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows.”  I  have never read or heard that Frost was referring to our wisdom when he wrote that poem; it’s merely what I make of it!
