An elephant is leaving for the Utopia. She wanders in a vast space. Where is the Utopia of the elephant? Is an open field impended green palm tree under blue sky? Is a space embodied the nature of everything?

She enjoys wandering without destination sometimes and suddenly run to somewhere. It could contemplate nature when the mine becomes calm while walking. It would know the nature of world through the insight meditation. It could be happy if one will find the truth.

The elephant is still walking to somewhere not knowing where it is and may it is nowhere.
