Fairy Dust


You do not grow old simply by living a certain number of years. You grow old only when you stop filling those years with new substance and value.

Native traditional teachings tell me that every person that is old is not an Elder. An Elder has wisdom and if asked in a good way, can relate their experiences to you for you to decide which path to take on any particular question.m They speak, and the answer is your advice.
I don't call yself an Elder. Ilet others do that if they feel I am. That's as humble as i know how to be. But in the same breath, I want to be considered an Elder, I just don't ask for it.

Peace.
