 “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 herds of elephants’ 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.” So, how, after Anthony’s death, did the reserve’s elephants — grazing miles away in distant parts of the park — know?  Here is the story of Lawrence Anthony.
