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
