work of

becoming yourself. "

tsunamis peter out,
life's storms always break

We come out

Eating the Elephant

A  L  O  H  A !

“ Elephants don’t know 

anything about 

the world of ants; 

the peaks of mountains 

are oblivious of 

what is happening 

on the plains!” 

                  Mehmet Murat ildan

“They say that 

somewhere in Africa 

the elephants have 

a secret grave 

where they go 

to lie down, 

unburden their wrinkled 

gray bodies, and 

soar away, light spirits 

at the end.” 

                  Robert McCammon

 So HOW do you 

eat the elephant 

in your room?

ONE bite at a time!
