Let me tell you about baby elephants. The obvious is that they are adorable, no question. They are spirited and mischievous and the minute the new baby at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand looked into my eyes and touched my face with his trunk I was a goner.

One of my guiding saying is “It is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission”. It’s how I roll whether I am travelling or not.

A casual day running an errand and exploring the downtown triangle of Jerusalem leads to musings on Israel.
I was trundling along a street in Jerusalem, dripping with sweat from the fierce Israel sun. Gross. It was a rough neighborhood, no charm here. Lots of garages and other things like garages… light industry kind of stuff but all old and grungy. I was looking for an art gallery I noticed on google maps and as with almost all grass-roots galleries, it would be in gungville for the low rents.
Sometimes you connect with a place so well you actually here the *click*. It doesn’t happen often with me but it did with Hermanus, South Africa.
It’s evening and I am sitting in a ground floor apartment listening to the muezzin singing the evening call to pray over the loud speaker. I am so thankful that he has a most splendid voice.
I was just going to write a FB post about a book and be done with it but something kept nudging me to write more, explore more. Why did this small book feel like a profound inner shift for me?
Thought I’d share some of the up coming madness that will be my life for the next few months.
In spite of illness and injury it was such a great week at the Elephant Freedom Project! I now have a new family who stole my heart and an elephant who thinks she is a Queen!
I gotta say, there is an abundance of testosterone in the feisty little town of Creel, Mexico. I would not have been surprised to see a old fashioned Western gun fight break out on its dusty streets.
