The heart of the noble elephant Is at one with the heart of the Noble One For each delights in the forest.

According to the Udâna, the Buddha, withdrawn alone in the forest, perceives that a great elephant, also weary of the crowd of its herd, has come there seeking peace: their two hearts are in harmony in the same love of solitude. Today, give yourself a moment alone in a natural place, even a park or a tree, and simply savour this calm shared with all that lives.
