Beautiful gift
I purchased this to give to one of my dearest friends for her trip to Africa. It arrived at her house only the day before she left, and she immediately called me, in awe of its beauty. She told me later that it was so inspiring that she wrote in that journal almost every day of her trip, capturing precious once-in-a-lifetime moments with some of her extended family members. I then got a second one to give as a Christmas gift to a teenager that I mentor in science and math. She was incredibly touched and thought it was the most beautiful gift she?d ever been given! One day I?ll splurge on myself!!
Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!
I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
