Dear fellow
travelers,
What a
beautiful fall day here in the northeast! and a great true story arrived
in my email box this morning. I found it very moving and thought
provoking.
Yes, there is much
in this phenomena universe that we can always be amazed and in awe
about... enjoy....and let me know if you choose to what you ponder....
THE TRUE STORY OF
ELEPHANTS KNOWING
THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT.
Lawrence Anthony, a
legend in South Africa and Author of 3 books including the
bestseller, The Elephant
Whisperer
He bravely rescued
wildlife and rehabilitated Elephants all over the Globe from 'human'
atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo Animals during the
US invasion in 2003.
On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
He is remembered and missed by his Wife, 2 Sons, 2 Grandsons, and numerous Elephants. Two days after his passing, the wild Elephants showed up at his home led by two large 'matriarchs' Separate wild Herds arrived in droves to say goodbye to their beloved 'Man-Friend'. A total of 31 Elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to get to his South African House.

Witnessing this
spectacle, People were obviously in awe not only because of the
supreme intelligence and precise timing that these Elephants sensed about
Lawrence's passing, but also because of the profound memory and emotion the
beloved Animals evoked in such an organized way: Walking slowly, for
days, making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat to
his house.
Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially
touched, knowing that the Elephants had not been to his house prior to
that day for well over 3 years! But yet they knew where they
were going. The Elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring
their Friend who'd saved their lives - so much respect that they stayed
for 2 days and 2 nights without eating anything. Then one morning, they left,
making their long journey back home.
Just Pondering on this amazing world
