On this day in 1963 the very first Doctor Who was televised; and I watched it as my thirteen years old self. I'm still waiting to regenerate! (Image courtesy of Tom Franz from Wikimedia Commons)

Such wisdom in that Proverb, and how you have interpteted it Rhiannon, and the generations are best when they live together in harmony and mutual respect.

Wise words Rhiannon. One of my bugbears is how we can easily judge others, when we ourselves could be judged as much.
