@ghandigirl I would be glad to fill in for any child of a Republican making a speech about Trump's woes. I promise I would do a great job of interpreting its meaning!
A white buffalo was born in the wild at Yellowstone on June 4.
Sacred indeed!!!
@Baba sent this one to a few of us. And it fills me with happiness and wonder. It's about elephants. They appear to give each other names which scientists have used AI to recognize. When they play the sound that AI says is the name of that elephant, that elephant will look up from the herd and its ears flare and it may respond.
It is so awesome to see this!
There is so much about other animals we are just beginning to understand. Dolphins and parrots also appear to call each other by names.
Every elephant has its own name, study suggests
In case you can't read the article, here's a free one but it doesn't have the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opifx32Rphs
My family nickname, since I was five years old (a full 70 years ago as of October!) is EP, which began as Elly because of a large stuffed BLUE elephant I received for Christmas that year. Somehow, Elly's Elephant got shortened even more, I think because my baby sister couldn't say Elly and said Ep instead. My niece (now 44) has always called me Auntie Ep! I have a lifelong love of elephants as a result, and greatly resent the republicans using this marvelous, intelligent, loving, social, maternally led vastly intelligent being (ok animal) for that political party's symbol. I still have Elly, much worn from much hugging over the decades and quite beloved.
@tesseract @journeywithme2 That white buffalo that was just born that you texted about is now, they are saying, the fulfillment of a Lakota prophecy. The prophecy is that the birth of the white buffalo...
"that portends better times, according to members of the American Indian tribe who cautioned that it’s also a signal that more must be done to protect the earth and its animals.
“The birth of this calf is both a blessing and warning. We must do more,” said Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota and the Nakota Oyate in South Dakota, and the 19th keeper of the sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe and Bundle."

For Tesseract (and me)
Made this in preparation for the spiritual book. She is looking forward but pointing backwards to the troubling cloud.
