Wisdom Around the World:
Discovering Joy through 14 Love Proverbs
Compiled By Julie Jordan Scott

A Proverb is a well known saying which, when spoken or read, rings with truth, depth and a call to personal application. The Biblical Book "Proverbs" was written by the wisest (and richest!) man in the world, King Solomon, who also wrote one of the most sensual books in the Bible, Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon).

The Proverbs I chose were collected from all over the world and all have "love" as a theme.

As you read through the Proverbs, your challenge is to choose one to use as a framework for pondering, reflection, contemplation, creative journaling, poetry or art.

Allow the message to seep into your veins and find its way towards your heart and back out into your being and then be sent out from you, with your personal thumbprint, to others.
