Elders and elders Sitting at the feet of elders is still possible. An elder is someone who is old and has many stories of their life time we can learn from. Sitting at the feet of an Elder is much different. The capital E... Elder is an honored person who knows much about the culture and traditions and has an instinct to how things are suppose to be. These Elders are named when they have proved themselves worthy of the title. When one get the opportunity to learn from one of these .it is an honor indeed and certain rules of respect are to be followed. I hope this helps distinguish the two for those who did not know and not to step on any toes for those who did know. Many people are searching for truth and looking for their path to follow. Learning this path takes a long time and it is not something that is learned in a year or two but a lifetime comment. Something that many grow weary of when the path gets rocky.
