All declarations
I M writing down the old ones' wisdom before it dies with them.
Wisdom
Every elder is a library, and every funeral of an untapped one is a fire that burns a collection nobody copied. Ask the questions now. Record the stories. Learn the lessons while the teacher still breathes. Do not wait until the eulogy to wish you had listened.
Carry It
Ask one elder today a real question about their life, and actually write down or remember the answer.
Ask Yourself
Which elder in your life is a library you keep meaning to visit, and how much time do you actually have left?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
