This is an experience that instilled a much greater confidence in my faith in a higher power.
I stood before an elephant.
Once you see.
It was just before the parade began.
I looked up and the elephant
stood there looking down at me.
One very large eye
Made me feel confident,
Secure
And oh so very blessed.
Then the giant animal took a step
And began to leave.
The look in his great eye said.
This is a message to you from God.
You love me.
And now you see.
Animals and nature can snap you back to the reality of a higher power/God. I remember my brother once telling me how he felt a similiar thing and he was telling people at his AA/NA meeting how each zebra has different stripes and how could you not see God in that--I agreed with him. Whenever I want to get centered, I take a walk, and although I don't get lucky enough to see elephants or zebras, lol, the squirrels, birds, chipmunks, etc, give me that same feeling of this is where God resides. Thanks for sharing this. Blessings, Michelle
