What we don't know about God's creatures is a mystery.
SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE THAT IS MUCH GREATER AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.

THE ELEPHANT'S JOURNEY TO PAY RESPECT, BUT HOW DID THEY KNOW?


ad0484c.jpg



Lawrence Anthony, a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all over the globe
from human atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals
during US invasion in 2003.




On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died. He is remembered and missed by his wife,
2 sons, 2 grandsons and numerous elephants. Two days after his passing,
the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs.




Separate wild herds arrived in droves to say goodbye to their beloved man-friend.
A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to get to his South African House.

Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these elephants sensed about Lawrence' passing, but also because of the profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked in such an organized way: Walking slowly - for days - Making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat to his house. So, how after Anthony’s death, did the reserve’s elephants ­grazing miles away in distant parts of the park­ know? “A good man died suddenly,” says Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, Ph.D., “and from miles and miles away, two herds of elephants, sensing that they had lost a beloved human friend, moved in a solemn, almost ‘funereal’ procession to make a call on the bereaved family at the deceased man’s home.”



“If there ever were a time, when we can truly sense the wondrous ‘interconnectedness of all beings,’ it is when we reflect on the elephants of Thula Thula. A man’s heart’s stops, and hundreds of elephants’ hearts are grieving. This man’s oh-so-abundantly loving heart offered healing to these elephants, and now, they came to pay loving homage to their friend.”



Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to that day for well over 3 years! But yet they knew where they were going.
The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend who'd saved their lives - so much respect that they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey back.

OJ we all could learn from nature. They protect their young n willing to give their life to do it. We know what some humans do to their children. For the most part they only kill for food or self defense. Mankind has really jumped the tracks brother. Elephants are very intelligent n capable of showing emotion. Very touching story brother 👍

Elephants are beings of great intelligence and obviously a connection to humans akin to that of human twins. Amazing!

If i only had the answer to this i would spread by way of the highest mountain and beyond. I am in agreement with the higher power mentioning. Only a spirit could travel so far to say goodbye to those he cared about, thus their respect for one last raise of their trunks.

Fantastic thread OJ, thanks for posting.
