interesting frenzy of life in this grave yard...elephants seem to morn their dead...I saw them on a show, around the bones of one deceased, they were picking up the bones and cradling them...like they knew something about death and the passing of their own, but of course, could never speak to us about it...I love elephants the are so sensitive and gentle...Great work Elton. God bless you in all you do and keep you safe in the arms of the HOLY SPIRIT. Love Christine

Artist Reply: Thank you Christine...I need and appreciate the Blessing..If I were God, I probably would have squashed me a long time ago..Thank God for Mercy instead of Judgement...---Nowabout the elephants: they care and share with each other in the herd.There was a case where an old elephant was discovered with his trunk torn off.The injury was one that had healed perhaps 20 to 30 years before or more...The elephant had survived without a trunk? So you say..wonderful..No there is more to it, the elephan's trunk is his arm--his hand...Without it, he can not pick up food and place it in his mouth..WITHOUT A TRUNK --AN ELPEPHANT CANNOT FEED HIMSELF...and thus this elephant should have starved to death decades ago...MYSTERY WAS SOLVED upon a study of the group dynamic...It seems the elephants loved ones--(everyone in the herd) helped to place food in his mouth..They picked up the dimmer for him and fed him...is that not love. or what...???
