Emily, elder to many, storyteller, truthteller, struggling for words w/ brain tumor, says:

"Dare to be golden. Dare to love without judgements, conditions or fear of being judged. Be gentle with each other and yourselves; and trust that you are where the heart is held. (more)🧵

"It can be a difficult and cold world
but these guiding principles have brought joy and warmth to me and those around me throughout my life.
This is the gift that we have been given. (more)🧵

"We must trust that the connection is whole and not broken and let the message come through us.

I hear a call, I trust the call of those who bring hard truths and welcome us to be who we can be in this moment.

My time is too short but I have trusted the intention. (more) 🧵

"I hope for our best selves.
I don’t need to be there.
I respect the path as she asks it. It may not be easy.
It is my calling...to rise beyond our smallness and our fear, to be all that we can be. (more)🧵

"May we dare to hold the fullness of it all. This gift is long, long, long, long given. Bigger than our definitions of how we think it should be done. (more)🧵

"I’m not much about god and religion; for me, these are closed ways. The intention is gentleness, and oneness. The heart has to be open--it goes without saying.

We can ask each other to be golden.
We must help each other to be golden.”
