Talk about life? I can tell you a thing or two about life. You can’t just live it for yourself. In fact, you can’t just live it for one elephant only, yourself or otherwise. You see, I am the matriarch* of my family, and that means I have a lot of responsibility to shoulder. It is wet here now. For now, things are comfortable, but I know that will be changing not too far ahead.
When things dry up, I get anxious. No, I will not answer why that is. I am not sure I am willing to talk to you about everything just yet. Just know that there is no creature that welcomes the dry season, and there is no matriarch who has been through it free of guilt.
I am going to go help my niece’s young fool of a son knock over the acacia he is pushing on. Maybe I will “blog” again later, if you would keep your short human trunk out of business it does not belong in.
(*Interpreter’s Note: The word “matriarch” is used here, since it is the scientifically accepted term for the female leader of an elephant herd, and probably the term readers are most familiar with. To directly translate from Elephant, her title would actually be something closer to “Big Mother Who Knows Everything Best”.)
