“Letting words out, saying them out loud would lighten the pain, lighten my sorrow, make me happy again. I will stop missing Amma, stop loving her. No . . . that will never do.

“If elephants could talk, they would narrate tales of pain suffering and bondage. If they could speak, they would ask for freedom from hunger isolation and loneliness. Yes, if they could, they would ask to return to their homes their families the wilderness away from humans and their chaos. But they can't. So I must.” AnimalsElephants Book:If Elephants Could Talk Source: If Elephants Could Talk
