Exactly what is an elephant....

.....Is it an ant with an extra 'eleph'? Well, the ant and the elephant do have something crucial in common. They are both alive. They are both powered by the same vital spark - an invisible energy surges through them both. It surges too through you and me. We are all manifestations of precisely the same primal energy. We are expressions of life.

When we understand this we become in tune with all things and thus we become capable of almost anything.

Many people die with their music still in them.  Why is this so?  Too often it is 
because they are always getting ready to live.  Before they know it, time runs out.   
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
