Golden Voices
I remember listening to the experienced voices of the aged. The words they spoke were not borrowed, but were bought and paid for by experience. It afforded them a little power to discern the foolishness of the young. They would say to me, that boy is not going to make it past forty if he keeps on doing what he's doing. Some were not around to see their words come true, but they did come true. I am not talking about old-folks-isms, I am talking about their experiences that got them to their old age.
I also remember hearing them talk about the experience of friendship, love interests and people they lost along the way. To sum it up, we must not allow ourselves to become inebriated with contemporary voices and not listen to the golden voices that are still among us.
