About This Podcast
According to legend, the elephant knows when the end is near. Rather than trying to stick with the herd and potentially slowing them down, the elephant heads for the elephant graveyard. Here he can not only die in peace, but his descendants can easily locate him and visit his remains in the future.
Abuda is an old elephant, the human kind, who has retreated to his sacred place. Each episode, he reflects on life as he prepares for his death.
"They say that somewhere in Africa the elephants have a secret grave where they go to lie down, unburden their wrinkled gray bodies, and soar away, light spirits at the end." Robert R. McCammon
