A Lesson on Love by Nikita Gill

My dog and I do not speak the same language. Yet every day, she tells me: I trust you to know when I need to go for a walk. I will let you hold me when you need to and I will ask you for love when I need it. On the days you are sick, I will lie beside you. I will look for you in rooms when you are not here, and I will greet you with so much joy when you come home. I will guard you when you sleep. I will wag my tail and let you know that everything will be okay on your bad days, and I know that you will do the same on mine.

And from this I learn that my dog and I actually do speak the same language.

After all, the universe is a kindly ancient thing. It gave love as a mother tongue to every being.
