Apocryphal Scripture of the Week: (see Doctrine and Covenants 91)
***
“All that was secret or manifest I learned,
For wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me. . . .
For wisdom is more mobile than any motion,
And she penetrates and permeates everything, because she is so pure;
For she is the breath of the power of God,
And a pure emanation of his almighty glory;
Therefore nothing defiled can enter into her.
For she is a reflection of the everlasting light,
And a spotless mirror of the activities of God.”
(Wisdom of Solomon 7: 21-22, 24-27)
***
Sometimes I feel like in order to be successful, I need to be relentlessly busy and always in “motion.” But at this time, when we have a constant flow of heavenly wisdom from God’s prophets and are literally being forced out of our accustomed “motion,” it’s comforting for me to be reminded that “wisdom is more mobile than any motion.”
When we trust in God’s wisdom over our own inclinations and reasoning, we begin to develop some of that wisdom in ourselves. And eventually, one day, as we become more and more like Christ, our actions can become “a spotless mirror of the activities of God.” That’s pretty rad.
The Commonplace Notebook 
I was the same way. So sure that if my day wasn’t full to the brim with study, work, dating, temple work, calling work etc etc I wouldn’t be enough. I spent nine years in thar mindset and remained blind to the most obvious truths affecting me. Especially the slow poison of my former best friend.
But I never found wisdom until I had spent three years in exile with no structure, no routine beyond writing music and observing carefully at a calm pace. And I never felt the stirrings of the Holy Ghost until I quieted the storm of stress that drowned out its whispers.
