Advice

A father writing to give his son advice on the son's wedding day:
But hold on! Who am I to dare such foolery, at times a fallen sparrow myself, and a bearer of old wounds and unanswered questions…. Am I not the wrong man to attempt any dispensation of wisdom? I choose to ignore this question on the basis of pure ego and the belief that a fallen sparrow resurrected has something to chirp about….
A bit over-written, as that example shows, but . . . um, er, what's the word I'm looking for? . . . wise.
