When an elephant is young, they stake it to the ground so it isn’t able to run away.

When it grows into an adult it could easily pull the stake from the ground, but it doesn’t.

It remembers the stake holding it down when it was young.

This allows elephant handlers to tether a giant unruly animal which with only a 10 inch piece of metal and a rope.

We all have stakes like this in our own life.

Holding us back.

Solid barriers and limitations we remember from the past, may today just be an illusion.

Smash into the walls a bit and see if the tether is still real.

Only way to break free.
