Silver and Gold

There is so much wisdom at our fingertips these days that’s been passed down throughout the ages penned for our edification by wise women and men by philosophers and sages. Perusing their different writings in their different languages causes one to happily proclaim: In all the words they left behind, their message is the same. There before us in a few simple words they left the key to the art of living. They wrote of Love Compassion Acceptance. They wrote of giving and forgiving. They left behind these words as a gift for future us knowing someday we wold read them and hoping an entire world of people one day would, also, heed them For they knew the words they left behind are only silver once written down… once told. and only when all the people heed them will they turn from silver into gold. Many generations have tried their best the words of the sages to fulfill… only to fail in their attempt… hoping the next generation will. My generation has also failed but I hold onto the hope… that I’m still not too old to see the day when their words of wisdom written long ago turn from silver into gold.
