OPEN POST: The Elephant Language of Kindness

 

Elephant Family by Andrea Napolitano

They rumble in frequencies we can’t hear, hundreds of feet apart. They console with trunks, mourn their dead, and remember everything — especially kindness.

They don’t shout to be understood. They stand closer.

They grieve, they gossip, they guard the smallest members of their herd like living treasure.

And if an elephant doesn’t like you? You’ll know. Quietly. Permanently.

I want to speak that kind of language — low, clear, intentional.

Not the human noise of “shoulds” and “sorries,” but something softer:

I see you.
I hear you.
I’ve got you.

That’s elephant talk. And maybe today, I’ll try using it.
