Wise Counsel

I am coming to realize more and more that I value wisdom. I value it in myself, whatever measure of it there is, but I actively seek out people who are wise. I am also coming to realize that wisdom does not equal intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to learn and apply new information. Wisdom, is intelligence plus insight. I have known some decidedly intelligent people that I would not seek out for wise counsel; likewise, I have known some rather unintelligent people who can give perfect insight into a difficult situation.
Children possess a raw form of wisdom. Children speak without the burden of worrying how their words will sound, how they will be interpreted and who's listening. They have a simplicity in their thinking that is astoundingly beautiful. Seniors are wise for much as the same reason as children, they can speak freely on many things, but with the added benefit of having experience.
Wisdom comes mostly from experience but I wonder if wisdom can also be taught directly?
