I had a little difficulty with the time and place jumping around, but that’s on me. And to admit to the fact that I was reduced to tears more than once in this read will remain our secret. (might have been exasperated by my battle with Covid).
There are lots of life lessons in this story which really stood out to me. The two listed below I believe rang true to me because of growing older. Again, nature teaches us so much even if it’s perceived by an elephant!
“The earth we walk upon has no memory of us; its only concern is the constancy of day into night, season after season, and the memory of any one of us is soon gone from the earth forever. …so I store every pleasing moment I experience so that I may visit them when the sadness becomes overwhelming.”
“In almost every life there is a moment where a choice is made that changes everything from that point on….The road not taken, the courage to speak up or remain silent in the face of a bully, the career chosen or abandoned, the lover married or spurned- the decision and its effects are only apparent with time. And there is no way to go back and change it. For better or worse, a life’s course is set from that moment on.”
