In this 9th episode we read and discuss Michael's essay "So the Elephants March." As an early favorite of mine and a piece that calls back to the many references Michael makes to elephants throughout his work (such as in "Earth Song" - both lyrics and video) as well as his overarching love of animals in general. But this piece, while centered on elephants, is also deeply human, discussing the human tendency toward cruelty and the lessons we can learn from the great creatures with who we share this world.If you are interested, check out the 1983 Michael Jackson Hayvenhurst interview that I referenced in the discussion portion of this episode!https://youtu.be/bwEbyaOpvY0?si=Nik1nrGPoeOJeIhW
