“Today, in the heart of Chitwan, we walked among giants.

Gentle, ancient souls moved beside us—each step slow, steady, sacred. These elephants, all female, carried not just our presence but centuries of wisdom through the tall grass and wild jungle where rhinos roam and tigers silently watch.

There is something deeply symbolic about walking with elephants.

They are protectors. Matriarchs. Empaths.They grieve. They remember. They love.They lead with quiet strength and fierce grace.

In their presence, I felt small—but not in size. In urgency. In noise.

Because when an elephant walks beside you, the world softens, time slows, and you’re reminded that power doesn’t always roar—sometimes, it simply walks in silence.

To witness their beauty, to be led by them today—what a gift.

A reminder that the feminine can be both soft and unshakable.

Strong enough to carry the world, gentle enough to heal it..”
