“Going back to my mother's passing, there was no way I could hold back my tears or sense of grief at knowing her physical presence left the planet. Working consciously with such an in-my-face overwhelmingly painful loss, I was able to process it to the point of accepting that although my relationship with her would be different, I could still sense and celebrate that there was no separation between our spirits. Being present and open to each stage of grief eventually led to her visiting me in my dreams and a tangible sense of her presence.” WayStillsDifferentDreamWould BeAbleFacesSpiritMotherLeftProcessLossGriefAcceptingKnowingStageTearsPlanetsPainfulSeparationPassingPassingsCelebrateTangibleVisitingStages Of Grief Author:Michael Beckwith

“In my view, nobody is really effective in tackling those organized crime networks that are making connections from Africa to Asia to fund and facilitate the poaching of massive volumes of ivory, and then selling it on the Asian market. Very few people have tried globally to tackle that serious organized crime threat that is also linked to militia groups. That needs to change. You need to bring the full weight of government attention to dealing with that.” PeopleNeedsGovernmentViewsAttentionGroupsCrimeSeriousConnectionsWeightThreatSellingOrganizedFundMassiveVolumeAsiaLinkedAsianNeed A ChangeFacilitateMilitiaIvoryTacklingOrganized CrimePoaching Author:Allen Crawford
