My friend Yvonne sent me this story today. She knew I would love it and I do.
Lawrence Anthony, a wildlife enthusiast, and author of The Elephant Whisperer, spent his life rescuing and working with animals all over the world. When he died at his home in South Africa, thirty one elephants walked there, some from more than 100 miles away. They stood silently at the home for two days and then returned to their territory.
I am content to enjoy the mystery of this event as it enlarges my concept of connections.
I've been reading all week about another animal event: what happened with the gorilla at the zoo. As I keep wondering why it happened I am left feeling very small.
I love the elephant story. Melinda just read a book about animals and feelings. I do not think the gorilla should have been killed.
