    Can Sound Move Stones? The Ancient Mystery of Building With Music (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    To the modern mind, the question seems absurd. Sound may shatter glass; sufficiently powerful vibrations can affect physical objects; but nobody seriously expects a musician to pick up a lyre, strike a chord, and watch blocks of masonry obediently rise into walls. Yet our ancestors repeatedly imagined something very like this. Across myth, legend, and sacred history, sound possesses a strange authority over matter. Music moves stones. Words create worlds. Trumpets bring walls down. And, perhaps

    Classical Wisdom, Part 2: When Truth Becomes a Story (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    An aphorism or proverb can tell us that pride leads to destruction. A myth can allow us to watch a proud man destroy himself. That is the difference between wisdom as saying and wisdom as story. Both forms are ancient, and both are necessary. The aphorism compresses truth into memorable language. The story does something different. It does not simply tell us what to think; it invites us to enter a world. It allows wisdom to unfold through character, choice, consequence, irony, reversal, sufferin

    Classical Wisdom: When Truth Becomes a Saying (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most of us want to be “wise,” don’t we? Or at least to be considered wise by others. There is certainly status to be had from appearing wise. But where does wisdom come from? The Old Testament gives a striking answer: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” That is to say, wisdom begins not with intelligence, education, or experience, but with humility—with recognizing that reality is greater than ourselves. In other words, it comes from an attitude toward reality rather than an accum
