Glad you like BGE - so do I. In fact I like all of his books, though
they have different 'flavas'. However this idea of maturing wisdom is
suspect. Often people get old, crotchety, weak and reactionary as they
age (often but not inevitably): becoming reactive. In general I trust
the wisdom of youth (of the 'child') a lot more than that of the
geriatric 'camel' who has had time to become bitter and resentful.
