Another Love Story

by Raymund Tamayo

A couple traveled for days in the woods without speaking to each other. When they finally arrived in the middle of the forest, they found a wise man.

“My companion said almost nothing to me during the whole journey,” said the young man.

“A love without silence is a love without depth,” answered the wise man.

“But she didn’t even say that she loved me!”

“Some people always claim that. And many of us end up wondering if their words are true.”

The three of them sat on a grassy slope nearby. The wise man pointed out to the sun barely penetrating the dense vegetation, then to the mountains, then to the adjacent river.

“We can’t always hear God telling us He loves us. But it remains the same and does not change. God loves us, and we realize that through His creation.”
