I took this photo of the towel elephant from our recent cruise. I can't decide if it is coming or going. I have seen this before, but this one is a bit unusual. As a hospitality professional, I expect we are either amazed (as I am!) or are unimpressed. For all of the many details that I know the room attendants are responsible for, they SLOW DOWN and create something beautiful JUST FOR YOU. It begs me to mention that we should SLOW DOWN and notice the things that people do JUST FOR YOU!
And the coming or going aspect of this elephant is not lost on me either. That's what we do when we cruise. This morning, it occurs to me that this is just life, in general. Yesterday, I didn't notice that is was all a matter of 'comings' and 'goings'. Cruising has 'approach and arrival' down to a serious art form. I just found out there is a movie by the same name. There is a definition for this in an online dictionary.
Who Knew? I am thankful for this terry pachyderm. A softer version that allows tender reference to the many details of life lived in such a often hurried and often too stressful existence. SLOW DOWN!
