To be a baby elephant must be wonderful. Surrounded by a loving family 24 hours a day. Touched by the family, cuddled and comforted. A tremendous love and compassion exuded by every family member. I think it must be how it ought to be, in a perfect world.

Animals are indeed more ancient, more complex and in many ways more sophisticated than us. They are more perfect because they remain within Natureâ€™s fearful symmetry just as Nature intended.

Like most parents, I've been stumped by homework, the big questions, such as: 'What is the point of geography - the pilot always knows where we are going?'. Answer: 'If you didn't know any geography, people would think you were an American, and you wouldn't be able to put them right because you wouldn't know where they live.'
When religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.
Transcend your abuse and transform it into a source of courage, creativity and compassion.
