Life Benefits from Plumbing

Back up carefully and do not deceive little children.

"Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. . . The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation," wrote Augustine of Hippo, also known as Saint Augustine.

Being has several meanings, and 'plumb' has many meanings. Among them are 'measure, explore, penetrate, probe, feel out, see how the land lies; examine; scrutinise; gauge, fathom' and make 'careful investigations'. So to plumb the innermost recesses of one's mind can be had both by "introspection", and "shining", as Zen roshi Hakuin terms it in a book (Shaw 1963). Meditation is a way.

Life needs to be lived forwards toward solvency and to one's best ability. Then much in it may make sense when looked into in retrospect. That is one way of learning lessons for those who survive without breaking and are able to tell." Experience can be a hard teacher because she often gives the test first, the lesson afterwards". If we learn from the dear life lessons of others we may improve our own lot, but it may still be awfully hard to tackle costly wisdom - and prepared for that by plumbing in the sense of searching, measuring, unraveling and similar.
