I once was an elephant amongst others like me. I was known, embraced and sheltered. Then one day I found myself in a human body with strange feelings of fear and loss. And so my longing to belong began.

"All the possibilities that sleep in the clay of your heart; it knows your eternal potential, and it will not rest until it is awakened."
