It’s been almost a month since we returned (tomorrow will mark 4 weeks!!) I cannot tell you how precious you are all in my heart – as I share my Thailand journey with others it is amazing at the different things, thoughts and feelings that arise – seems each person asks “what was the most memorable thing that happened in Thailand” – truthfully I cannot bring it down to one thing – and what I love is that it really depends on who is asking – with some it’s the fun (shopping, the fish on my feet…), with others it’s the deep connection I felt for all of you, with others it’s about the time at the school – but always what speaks to my heart is Lek telling us “it doesn’t matter if an elephant has a month, week or even a day left to live, I will bring them here so they can die in dignity and know they were loved” – it still, even as I write this, brings tears to my eyes and an honoring in my heart – I absolutely treasure each and everyone of you and the experiences we shared together (even if briefly).
