I remember seeing that article about elephants a few days back and what it brought to mind is the idea that we are all far more connected than we might think. Yes, it's a popular New Age saying that "we're all connected," but this thing with the elephants struck me as very tangible evidence for it.
Nature is amazing and beautiful; for several decades, I have been telling people that "Nature is my church!"
I appreciate your thoughtful post.
That's a great saying to have. I was told many years ago by a spiritual reader that on my yearlong trip to Bali I needed to "Let nature love you." To me that's the same idea, for the only true religion is love.
