Wisdom is merely
a life-time from birth to death
of experience and reflection
to the point of realization
applied to here/now choices
and decisions.

What experience is
and what it means
in light of previous experience
applied to present experience--
including the cumulative exprience
of the species--is wisdom
at work in our life.

And it depends on 
the right kind of reflective use
of emptiness, stillness and silence.

It is thinking in the right way
about what's what
and what its implications are
for here, now
in each here, now that comes along,
including thinking about our thinking.

It is awareness of awareness
expanded to include all of life
throughout time.

The people who do that best
are the wisest among us.
Including "the little child who leads (us)."
