“Until you practice surrender, the spiritual dimension is something you read about, talk about, write books about, think about, believe in—or don’t, as the case may be. It makes no difference. Not until you surrender does it become a living reality in your life.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Elephant tusks being burnt in Kenya
For centuries, the demand for ivory has caused great suffering to innumerable elephants. On April 30, 2016, 105
tons of seized poached tusks from approximately 10,000 elephants were destroyed in Nairobi national park during a public ceremony. The tusks, methodically arranged on metallic pyramids, were burned as if on funeral pyres. The event, widely covered by the media, was intended to make the general public more aware of the struggle to eliminate elephant poaching. With this symbolic gesture, the presidents of kenya and gabon wished to alert the whole world to the gravity of the traffic in ivory. The survival of about 500,000 african elephants is at stake.
