Love!

Summary: Tara the elephant finds the love of her life, a dog named Bella.

Why it's a Mind Blow: For all of us dog lovers, it might come as no surprise that our canine friends have the capacity for rich emotions. Likewise, elephants are among the most deeply feeling creatures on planet Earth. They live in matriarchal family units, and their selfless devotion to each other can teach humans a great deal about what love is. I've often been brought to tears over a story about the herd mourning a friend, or a mother elephant sacrificing herself to save her child. 

The complex minds and hearts of our fellow earthly inhabitants is a mind-blow in it's own right, but the story of Tara and Bella is truly overwhelming. The video piece below, produced by CBS News, does a great job of telling their story, so I won't rehash it here. Suffice it to say, I hope you'll take a moment to share in the beauty and limitless power of love. It really can heal all pains and bridge all divides. If Tara and Bella can save each other from this conflict ridden world then surely, so can we.
