On the other hand, checking into the news after dinner, I was aware of the continuous unspeakable bombardment and destruction of Gaza and her people. (To review the story through 2017, it can be accessed as a document and as a talk on YouTube.) 1Ĭynthia and I arrived at Chobe National Park in the afternoon on early December 2023 and were greeted near the entrance by Elephants as we have been in the past this was not unusual.Īnd there were little ones everywhere, Lion cubs and tiny day old Elephant calves following their herds under their mothers massive legs. Many of you know the beginning of this story and the events that followed, each time more enigmatic and baffling than the times before. Worlds intersected in incomprehensible ways through the actions of two species, the human and the more than human, the Elephant. This mystery began on Epiphany, January 6 th 1999 and repeated again and again through December 2023. Sometimes we are called to live a Story, a cosmic action which alters and altars (sic) us individually but as it is an event or several occurrences, it draws the community into it as well through the imagination and we all learn to live accordingly. Indigenous peoples understand that while dreams land on a person, they are intended for the community, to teach, inform, warn, alert us so that we live in the right ways. In December 2023, I returned to the wild, to Chobe National Park in Botswana for the ninth time in twenty-five years, companioned on six of those journey by my dear friend, writer and founder of everyday gandhis, Cynthia Travis, because we are obligated to a mystery.
