Where the Wisdom Lies is a fable about one woman’s fantastical journey that sets her upon an environmental/ spiritual quest crusade. The adventure starts off on a seemingly normal day. The author is walking her dog in the woods, like she had done many times before. However, on this particular day, the author is exposed to a hidden world. While resting against a tree, Hope finds a door to a place called the Underworld.
The Underworld is home to all sorts of creatures: beetles, snakes, toads, weasels, spiders, and a gnome. Over the course of a few weeks, Hope visits these individuals multiple times. Each time she returns from her journey, the author has learned (or been reminded) of another important lesson. In the end, she is urged to share her finding with the rest of the world.
Where the Wisdom Lies is an important reminder in these busy chaotic times of the importance of balance and natural cycles. We need to understand the consequences of our actions and inactions.
