Dear Roxy, What a raw, moving, and fiercely courageous article! I wish the whole world could read it and know what is truly involved in the unique and quite extraordinary work that you do rescuing orphaned elephants!

Many of us, I know, also wrestle with the tendency to focus on the failures and could-have-beens - usually completely outside our control - rather than our motivation and state of heart, which is our only true domain.

I am so glad that you are willing to let us share your journey. The team and world you have created at Wild is Life/ZEN are like a beacon for the orphaned and vulnerable and afflicted. There is no greater kindness. Your compassion is inspiring!
