At the last hour of the last day a pregnant female approached us. She stood at
the hood of the car, occasionally sweeping her trunk over the dust, looking at me
for a long time, twenty minutes perhaps.
“Are you talking with her?” Chris asked.
“I am,” I answered, “but I don’t know if she is answering.” I was asking her to
guide us as members of the Radical Elephant Movement. I was asking her to
help us save the elephants from extinction. I was praying that she would imprint
us so we would know how to stop the mad behavior of our species. But she
didn’t answer. No words or thoughts appeared in my mind other than my longing
to be of service for the restoration of the natural world.
Then, as suddenly as the Ambassador had turned away from us originally, she
bolted for the hill above us as if there had never been a connection.
