Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Elephant Tales



Dear Daughter,

Papa went to Kerala this week for a school trip and he saw lots of things there.

While we were driving one night, guess what we saw? Elephants again, this time on the side of the road. There were three big elephants and they were carrying an entire palm tree in each of their trunks, can you believe that? For every elephant, there was a man riding on top and one walking with alongside to keep them off of the road.

But, what was really funny is that each one of the elephants had reflective tape on their tails so that the cars could see them. And, they all had huge ankle bracelets with bells on them so we could hear them too. So, even the elephants need help being seen even though they are so big.

I love you,

Papa
