This really makes me happy to be part of several communities that focus on the beauty of humanity rather than the passing along of negative forces. I am so honored and blessed to have people like you in my life passing on the wisdom of our elder and peoples. Keep up the inspired work! Thank you so much for sharing this insight with us Gemma.

Illustrating the power of words and stories, and the essential thread that weaves one being to another. An elder in this case to a younger giving the gift of wisdom and words while being gifted with the attention of one that is willing to listen. Powerful stuff. Please keep talking about this. Please keep reminding us that we don't have to learn everything the hard way, alone, but that we can ask the help of those that have more time on this earth, and therefore, more perspective.

Every day we hear of an elder who has passed away… And we know that one more part of our beloved past is gone forever.

One of my fondest wishes is that the young will find it in their hearts to actively SEEK OUT ELDERS, and not wait for the elders to come to them first. Our elders have no way of knowing who is or is not interested in talking to them about the old ways, so it is up to the young to knock on that door and say, “I’m here, I’m interested, and I want to learn.” Oh the joy this would bring to an elder! Our elders truly DO want to share the enormous store of memories they have. We only need to go to them and ask for it.
