THE WONDER OF RIVERDANCE
Published on Aug 9, 2012
1920s vintage Dodge Brothers sedan drives down muddy roads and across muddy fields to get to the gushing oil well.
For some strange reason the car has “Oil Field Dodge” painted on the side.
This may be a company promotional video but it does not make driving look like any fun.
The music is a stock YouTube number by Dave Hartley called New Walk.
THE ELEPHANTS KNEW………..
Lawrence Anthony, a legend in South Africa and author of 3 books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer.
He bravely rescued wildlife and rehabilitated elephants all over the globe from human atrocities, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals during US invasion in 2003.
On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons, 2 grandsons, and
numerous elephants.
Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived in droves to say goodbye to their beloved ‘man-friend’.
A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 112 miles to get to his South African House.
Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe not only
because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing that these
elephants sensed about Lawrence’s passing, but also because of
the profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked
in such an organized way: Walking slowly, for days,
making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their habitat
to his house. Lawrence’s wife, Francoise, was especially touched,
knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to that day for well over 3 years!
But yet they knew where they were going. The elephants obviously
wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend
who’d saved their lives – so much respect that
they stayed for 2 days 2 nights without eating anything.
Then one morning, they left, making their long journey
back home.
SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS GREATER
AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
