It came to me over an ellie - well not literally, but I was looking at it and it occured to me that really this was what life should be all about.
I watched them walking, interacting as a social group, behaving simply, as they should - and I wondered how life got s complicated.
The grind of daily life exists in every species, but the companionship, the closeness, the touch of a trunk, is sometimes miles away from us.
Many people, including myself, life in isolation. In a silo (a great work expression), operating and interacting in fits and starts. Never truly connected.
And why...fear, or rejection, of boredom, or reliance. This is not a problem for ellies. They act as a group. Connected as one. Supportive, close knit and truly beautiful to behold.
I made a vow over the ellies to lose the fear. To interact, to find someone to join my gang. To act as a group, or at least a pair with someone. I am no longer alone, I am reaching out. And if I lose touch...
I always have the ellies.
