Inspiration can strike at any moment. Be ready and fly.
Meet the Mighty Elephant King. He has been thinking long and hard how to save the world and his kind together with the children of the world. He has been watching closely all the happenings around his community and hearing the whispers from across the sea. The land has been trembling with uncertainty. The universe has also been on his mind. The wheels have been turning. Sparks of inspiration have been shared in his dreams. He has stories to share with you down the road. Teaching of wisdom from the old ways. Today is the day of his birthday. The Mighty Elephant King has been born. His name is a secret that you will find in the stories coming behind.
Today he will share with you a poem that had appeared in the morning hours in his mind. Waking early to hear the words being sent down from his ancestry. A message for the future to act in the present.
“Save the children” - the voice plead.
“I am listening” the Mighty Elephant replied.
The words came below:
Save the children
Bringing the light, shining through my life. Holding the torch, showing the way. Walking on a path with in uneven stones, missing parts, no results.
Everlasting joy find me today. Working hard to find my way. Step by step, movement that sway.
Flowers blooming in my garden of care, Hope is fighting to emerge screaming. I am here. I do care.
Save the children, the inner voice tells me. How my dear, self debates me? Fast running world. Please slow down.
Developing brains silently crying. Take me outside. Walking in nature. Hear the song from the Parrot king.
Opening hearts flower with care. Nurture the garden with gentle care. The Mighty Elephant appears in dreams.
Quietly my child, hear your inner voice. Step outside of new rigid forms. Join nature offering a lifetime to be with you.
Exploring minds Feel the wind, the scent of the ocean. Join the river, walk along its path. Move in the forest with admiring trees. Bring the highlands the joy and retreat.
Kindness of the present. Nurture our children. Future generations. The one way to survive: Care for nature. Nurture what is inside the way nature teaches you gifts.
See the oneness within, of all living things.
Much love to you all, The children of the world. Hoping today, that opening eyes, will bring you wisdom, and love to live your life, with nature involved.
Embrace your heart.
GK 4/13/23
The Mighty Elephant King stood in silence absorbing the words. He knew this will be a long road and many teachings. A journey he was prepared to take. Deep in thought he understood that this journey is a work of a lifetime and the seeds to be planted belong with the people. He started to formulate a plan. He knew he will need to consult the others and the Mother of all Elephants, the Elephant Queen. Together, maybe, just maybe magic will happen and the impossible slowly step by step can become possible.
Today I introduced you to my creation the Mighty Elephant King. He is been formulating in my mind and recently I had many wonderful connections and conversations with inspiring individuals including GnanVi_Speaks and her husband Vinod, we talked about our previous book with Dancing Elephants Press; Holistic Journey Toward Wellness , marketing, supporting each other in the world. It was an amazing conversation that adventured into talking about nature, children needing to spend more time in nature for their developing brain. As we were talking I wrote down these words: “save the children”. A plan begin to form and the Mighty Elephant King was born this morning. GnanVi_Speaks recently wrote an article for our upcoming book on spirituality that was an essential spark in my inspiration.
The Mighty Elephant King was also inspired by Annelise Lords and her teaching words and wisdom including talking about elephants and the cruelty they endure in their lives when serving others. In her recent article The Elephants Were Here Before Us Annelise Lords highlights a path toward a plan that have been formulating in my head. Another spark of inspiration. Elephants are dear to my heart as well as children, nature and supporting this world with kindness and care. Many wonderful writers in Dancing Elephants Press and on Medium care about people, nature, and animals.
Amazing conversations and stories that inspired me recently included our monthly zoom meetings in the publication and personal in depth interviews and conversations with Dr. Preeti Singh, Annelise Lords, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, Jennifer Dunne, Carmen Micsa, MA in English, podcaster, GnanVi_Speaks, Lola Rosario, DR Rawson - The Possibilist and Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue. I could write hours about each of you. Wait. I am already doing that. I hope this made you smile.
Beautiful images and poetry I have read recently that sparks the imagination and creativity included but not limited from Warren "Storyteller" Brown, William J Spirdione, Dr. Fatima Imam and Leah Lynch. There are of course many more amazing writers and authors on Dancing Elephants and on the Medium platform. The people I had listed above I would like to tell you that collectively you are my inspiration.
I would like to thank you for your hard work and inspiring words as a writer/ author and poet. You all have changed my life for the better. I learn from you every day and I am inspired by your courage , honesty, love and caring for our world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You all inspire me to keep going, exploring, create new things, come up with new ideas and to be fearless of what others might think.

Gabriella
