My Soul is an elephant

the story of how I failed to remember until elephants became a message knocking and knocking at my door

I am sharing with you a very private and universal message today, though my elephant poem message. I received it in one go, all the text right after the drawing was completed and not yet dry. I was equally astounded by the speed and surety it came through as my other artworks in other medias, yet the impact this one has today and for all my future, is something quite unique. I do hope you enjoy reading it and the story about it.

My purpose here on Earth is to guide, to lead, to show and not tell, to love and to teach. To make you and others ready for your next step on your path.

Many of us are searching for our purpose our hole life, and others again cannot see it at all. Then there are those who know always. And there are those who learn slowly. I was in the latter category. And the reason for me being slow was the things I needed to learn prior to waking up for real. Also it is the sign that my soul is an elephant. Slow!

This post is about who I really am. Not a story per se, rather a short paragraph on how it comes to me, my art, my words, and my purpose. And also about how much in love with the Universe I am.

My soul is an elephant. I have always loved to watch elephants, at circus when I was a little girl, on pictures and on nature shows on the tv. I collected elephants, and I had earrings with elephants. I had so many elephants in my studio at one time, I had to start giving them away as gifts. They came to me in many ways, and in many forms.

Then I started to channel them down to my paper, without knowing what I was drawing or painting. I seldom know. If at all. Anyway. The elephants came in huge numbers. As did other animals, yet the elephant came in between enerything else, they snuck in between all my other paintings and drawings, into them and through them. Feeling like it was nesessarry to draw and paint them. Sometimes elephants were all that came through. I had an elephant period, as Picasso had his blue period or his cubistic period. I feel very close to Picasso by the way. I was comforted by the elephants arriving on my canvas and paper, it was a feeling very similar to the connection you have when you come back to a very familiar place. I have no words that can describe the experience, but I am sure you know what I am talking about. Love. Unconditional love.

Elephants in all shapes and forms, fast ones, pendrawings, and slower types, like the one now living in Scotland. A 1 by 1 meter watercolour, starting out like a coffee painting on the floor. Did you know elephants have actually lived in Scotland? Neither did I!

Now I do. And there are a lot of other things I know too about elephants. Still, what I want to share with you today is the poem and the drawing that came through in 2019. Just about a year before the pandemic. As I look at it and read it now, it was a message for me to really listen to, as it speaks about my purpose. I was reminded of my purpose yesterday, and I also learned more unknown facts about the beautiful elephants though the same lovely soul. As usual I didn´t pay close enough attention to it then, and now, in hindsight it feels very true that my soul really is an elephant. Also many other feedbacks from my connections confirm what I know deep down in my elephant soul to be my truth.

I hope you enjoy reading this poem, I wrote it like it came through, in capital letters only. My hope is also that you find it in your heart and soul to connect with me when feeling drawn to do so, as my elephant ears, elephant heart and elephant soul is here for you to be comforted! Bless you! Much love to you from me!

Read this very slowly!
