Wisdom - A Recipe by Betsy

1/2 cup fresh information

1 lb. knowledge

3 quarts experience

1T time

1T sage

pinch of spice

Mull information until clear.  Add time and sage. In a large pot simmer the 3 quarts of experience for several minutes, then add the knowledge. When the knowledge is well blended with the experience stir in the fresh, mulled, clarified information.  Continue simmering for a long, long, time, stirring slowly and constantly to keep the mixture from curdling. 

Allow ingredients to blend for a few years before serving.  Then, when the time is right serve with a flair by adding spice and color to your presentation.
