The following has crisscrossed the country. Its sentiment is so meaningful, I would like to share it with you, as we remember Emily. -Steve Anderson
"In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their group ever came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him. Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number."
The fact that we cannot see our friends or communicate with them after the transformation, which we call death, is no proof that they cease to exist.

With love and gratitude. . .
On this Thanksgiving day from the mountains in Northern Italy, I feel infinite gratitude to Emily for all that she has given...especially her unconditional love and her dedicated service that has impacted countless lives.
As her dear husband Len Belzer said to me while Emily was hospitalized and I was feeling sad I could not be there with her in New York: "Emily is aware that consciousness has no bounds and that we can communicate with her from where ever we are, when ever we can."
I wish to share something very special. On the night that Emily passed away (without my receiving the news) at around 10 pm (European time (4 pm EST)) I felt her presence very strongly. I put on our mutual friend in the Evolutionary Leaders circle, Deepak Chopra's 21-day meditation and begin to listen to it. About 45 minutes later I felt Emily even stronger and felt a very warm embrace and gentle breathing that begin to fade and an energy of pure peace came. The following morning I went to a Buddhist temple and meditated and again I felt her presence so strong but this time she was very joyful and her spirit seemed so light, carefree and even with her special Emily giggles. I felt so happy because I knew wherever she is, she is joyful.
I just arrived home this morning to read an email from our friend Gerard Senehi to our Evolutionary Leaders group that she passed at 4:55 pm the previous night. (10:55 pm my time exactly when I felt her energy engulf me). I wish to thank her for the precious gift of being with me in consciousness during her time of transition and for reaffirming my belief that consciousness has no bounds. Even from the other side Emily is still serving with unconditional love. I love you Emily.
With infinite love and gratitude dear heart. Diane Williams
For Emily
How to understand what must have been a voyage down an un imaginable path. How to figure how it could have happened.
The pain inside you dear Emily must have been intense.
Discovering The way to share and trust and find an expert that would know.
So many theories, tests and remedies.
So many scientific, mechanistic, and wholistic disciplines.
And where dear Emily were you as you took this trip into the unknown
Adventuring with strangers, asking questions,
But the answers always out of sight.
Flummoxed, flabbergasted, outraged, incomprehensive!
That a being so divine, so precious and adored could simply slip from us.
The mystery that is us continuing but where?
The answers to the questions always out of reach.
Must we trust this process that we call a life?
Never knowing when the miracle will take us to another place?
Never knowing really who and what it is that lights us, illuminates us and then leaves our flesh and bones to travel where!
Trying to fit others ego demands from childhood on. Trying to create a loving life. Trying to be the best for everyone. Proving over and over how very great you are. When is enough? When is ok? When is the real reward and rest? Now dear heart. Now you know! Teach us, tell us what you know now!!
