It would be sad, indeed, to move forward, create a sanctuary then have it taken away. It is sobering to hear the words of the man who believes that the forests will be destroyed soon, not what we all wanted to learn. Perhaps, the young man who came to eat some jackfruit is surveying the property. Perhaps he may sense that this place will one day be filled with elephants who wander freely and perhaps will even mingle with wild herds. Perhaps he knows that this is their last hope. It is far more desperate than any of us had thought. Keep up the good work, Carol, it is important to the survival of the elephants that this project is successful. Be well and take good care.

There are many things in life that if we stop listening to others and only listen to our heart, we would see from a much different position. Sometimes it is just that we have believed some concept for so long that we continue to accept it as truth even when there is something else that more closely aligns with our gut feelings. An open mind is a beautiful thing and something that, though most of us beleive we possess, few of us truly do. I love the photos that you have been posting on your FB page. Your office has a rather zen feel to it and that sweet little boy pup is a heart melter to be sure. Enjoy your time and I hope your project is moving in a positive direction.

What an experience to be among the wild elephants while on your mission to help those that are captive. Can't wait for the next update... I got goosebumps of excitement just reading this post.

Carol, what do you do when elephants, wild or domestic, decide to move in? What's the plan to address that in these last places where elephants can live freely as elephants? Your writing is good. It will change the world. Keep documenting your journeys and observations, and keep telling us how things are and how to help. I'm honored to support your work.

Picturing an Elephant's pulling off and eating parts of a tree, knocking over a tree, and now blowing through a metal chain just boggles my mind! I am so glad you were able to hear that "music" and hope by now you've heard lots more... and hope you've seen the "musicians," too.

I am sure wild elephants will be a completely different challenge than the ones you have had in the past. I would think that until you bacome familiar with their habits that their actions and motivations would be more than a little unpredictible. Yet, you are in your realm, tending to your calling and listening to your heart and that is the greatest blessing any of us can ask for. Big responsibilities bring huge feelings of accomplishment when they come to fruition. I hope you are able to see some wild elephants traveling the property, soon and that you are able to get some photos to post so we can see them, too. Be safe and enjoy your days and nights.

She and her family will be okay now, provided they stay within your sphere of influence. What a bright and lucky Mama to choose you for help for herself and her babies.
