Berlin Zoo's Newest Baby Elephant

The Berlin zoo said the young bull was the third baby born to 26-year-old African elephant Pori, and the 12th at the zoo since 1998. He weighed 258 pounds at birth.

In reports accompanying pictures of Sunday's elephant rescue, some media portrayed the elephant as having been rejected by his mother, but the zoo said Pori and her 6-year-old daughter, Tana, were “taking exemplary care of the newborn.”

“The mother nudged the baby to make it get on its feet, but on the pictures it looks like she wanted to flatten it,” Blaszkiewitz said. “However, elephants always do that, and they do it very carefully with their feet and their trunk.”

He's sooo cute!

The new arrival comes five months after the birth of a major Berlin animal star – Knut the polar bear, who was rejected by his mother and hand-raised by zookeepers at the capital's other major zoo.

Knut

No worry Knut. There's enough love for both of you.

Elephant Walk NYC 2007

On March 27th the Ringling Brothers Circus arrived in Manhattan. As usual, the elephants did the final leg of the journey to Madison Square Garden on foot, because they're a little too big to truck or train into the city.

















Here they are going into the Midtown Tunnel. Is this the sweetest thing?!?~ holding each other’s tails and all.

I’d love to see this next year!

By 1:30am, the scene on the Manhattan side was totally crazy-- after waiting for an hour in the freezing cold, most of the onlookers and reporters were totally giddy with hypothermia.

The crowd reaching absolute hysteria

As the elephants ran up 34th street from 3rd Avenue to MSG, they were surrounded by hundreds of spectators, photographers, and PETA protestors. We've never been to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, but this has got to be a close second for excitement.

Whatever your feelings about the circus, this is one of our favorite New York events. If you've never seen it, definitely check it out next year.

NY IS SUCH A FUN PLACE!!!

The God in Me Honors The God In You

It's time to release and let go the concept of separation.

Everything in the universe has built inside an internal connection to God.

Your Higher Self connects to Source via the energy of your soul.

You are ALWAYS connected, it simply takes your belief that you are.
And so is all life.

If you begin to see the animal kingdom with the eyes of God, you will also see quite clearly the God that lives in them.

Are you willing to change your perspective, both of your self and the world around you?

It's so easy, so natural, and healing to do.

You will feel more connected to all of life, to all of You, and to Source.

All your relationships will naturally deepen.

And you will feel more happiness, joy, love and bliss.

Doesn't this mean the universe to you deep in your heart?
