Déjà vu

Sitting at my desk, surrounded by the clutter of too many papers, on too small a surface, I froze. Time stood still as a strange feeling rise from my toes and landed in my heart. For a split second, everything was crystal clear.

You know that sensation. The one that makes you swear that you have “been there” before. You grab at the memory which dangles just out of your vision. The sense of two worlds hovering side by side is pleasantly overwhelming. As quickly as the sensation hits, it’s gone.

Personally, I take it as a good omen. It’s not surprising that this sensation hit as I was hand writing thank you notes to supporters. It was a memory hick-up; combining the magic of the past with the promise of the future.

International Elephant Aid.  I should have named her Déjà vu!

    That feeling is like a mental massage that is taking place in two parallel universes simultaneously; for a brief moment, the energy sparks in unison then continues on its way. It is a wakeup call reminding us that we are both more powerful and more vulnerable than we ever might have imagined and that everything is as it is intended to be at this moment in time. I am grateful for you and your amazing sensitivity, dignity and grace, Carol. It is your strength and vibrant spirit that has brought all of us through this very difficult time. Your openness and honesty with the situation makes us respect you and all of the others who dedicate their lives to helping those who know no different lifestyle than the one they are living.

    Carol, I do know that feeling. And I also know that great things are coming to you, I do….despite all this “other” stuff you are going through…there you are doing what you have always done…what you continue to do, what you have to do….helping the elephants in any way you can. When a person has that passion and love in their heart, no one person can sway them….they will stay strong in knowing what they must do. International Elephant Aid….we will all know that name…..:)
