A very wise old woman said to me in my youth “You only get the trouble you need”.
My very wise wife said to me as I grew in maturity “You trade in your foolishness for wisdom as you grow”.
The beauty of trouble is in it we meet our helpers-if we are wise we take their hand and walk with them.
If we continue in wisdom they stay with us as we go onward. They continue to walk with us and we leave behind our troubles and our foolishness.
This is to walk the paths of the wise.
This is the way of righteousness.

With thanks to Rabbi Abraham Herschel’s -“I asked for Wonder”.
