Mr. Elephant Goes Travelling
"Due to the pandemic, people have had fewer opportunities for travel, but it has given us ample time to savor and organize our travel memories. The experiences, both sweet and bitter, along the journey contribute to spiritual growth. Regardless of the distance traveled, the stories and memories from our trips become nourishment for future life."

Mr. Elephant After Travel - Learning to Breathe
Spent too much time on land, I forgot how to breathe.
Passed through that stretch of sea, Watched the fish exhale, gently listened to the whispers of coral, touched the heartbeat of the waves.
My body tinged with the colors of the ocean, shedding all dullness.
Through traveling, I found another way to breathe.

Mr. Elephant After Travel -
Learning to Discover
I walked leisurely past the roadside garden.
Usually always in a hurry, never lingering for a moment.
But today, I spent the entire afternoon there, discovering things I had never noticed before.
I used to think that traveling meant going far away, but now I realize that observing everyday life is its own kind of journey.

Mr. Elephant After Travel - Learning to Settle
After returning to familiar life from a trip, I reflect on the sunlit daily moments. My mind still drifts, memories linger. So, I savor the cake of reminiscence, repeatedly chewing its flavors. I brew them into coffee, inhaling the aroma as my thoughts wander back through memories. Before the next journey arrives, I carefully preserve and savor these exquisite recollections.
