It took me just a second too long to determine if that clicking was in the headphones or the clock on my patience reverberating in my head. Still nothing compared to the clicking in my ankles.

Elephants have been known to die of broken hearts if a mate dies. They refuse to eat and will lay down, shedding tears until they starve to death. They refuse all human help.

Scientists are beginning to believe that animals do have emotions and that their feelings may be more intense and unfiltered than our own. Emotion rises from the old brain, the limbic system, which birds and reptiles as well as dogs, humans, and other mammals share. Humans have additional brain structures and symbolic language to process our feelings and a complex array of psychological defense mechanisms that allay or soften the impact of our emotions. We repress, deny, subjugate, dissociate, and use all kinds of conscious and unconscious machinations to separate ourselves from our feelings, but animals have no such recourse, so their emotions are likely to be raw and strong. In fact, this may be one of the reasons we find them so attractive: they wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak.

People seem to deny the existence of animal emotions so that they can continue to justify inhumane treatment and exploitation and avoid the fact that our actions have a deep emotional impact on our fellow beings.

Claude Ely was born in 1922 in Puckett’s Creek, Va. When he was 12 years old, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and told that he was going to die as a child. His uncle Leander gave him an old guitar, which he would practice on his sickbed where he wrote the song, ‘There Ain’t No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down”. Sometime down the road in 1954, this song was recorded by the Ohio based record label King at a church revival via a wire that ran through the radio station WCTW out of Whitesburg, Kentucky, producing one of the greatest white gospel 45’s in American music.
