Missing in a new dimension of the mind.
While it is sad to hear about your disappearance and the impact on your family, we feel certain you are being watched over by a herd of sacred elephants , perhaps by the one that inspired King Rama IV of Siam to establish the Order of the White Elephant.
As you were once nominated for something like the Order of the Million Elephants and White Parasol for coming to the aid of a representative of Cambodia , in Melbourne , you will be at ease in the company of thundering pachyderms.
In your last visit to LIttle Darwin , before departing with your considerate activist wife, and Asian collection , to a new , uncertain life in Canberra , you told the fascinating tale of relatives who had lived in a decrepit house on an old mine site in Ballarat or Bendigo , Victoria , with glass tubes, used to hold junket tablets, filled with gold dust in the cellar .
Over the years , as you travelled about Asia , you showered Little Darwin with gold in the form of unusual mixed ephemera picked up at markets, in shops , bookstores...postcards, pamphlets , even a breast enhancing powder from Malaysia .
Messages sent by you and your wife from exotic locations are stored in a filing cabinet ; a Thai fisherman's jacket you sent is still worn .
