Mind Meld

We humans have a saying, mind what your elders say Vulcans have a saying as well, expressed in a somewhat similar way Permit me to do a loose translation Please allow me to speak from an alien perspective As taken from the Hymn of the First Akan-aroula'id: Pay homage to the ancients, meld all that the ancients did We say, mind all that the elders say, They say, meld all that the ancients did Translation: learn wisdom from the old ones Gain experience from another's traveled path Obtain knowledge from past generations Let your future be guided by ancients words that will always last

Now you know I am loving this one 'RW'. Nuff said!!! Oh, and other attempt at humor would be the Epigram poem, my attempts anyway. Example 'Like a systematic automatic replay'. Poking a little fun at the brotha's and sista's whom a record players. Get it? Peace and blessings brotha.
