Love has been living here He sat at the table with his head down. Man he was tired, he did not know what to expect from his life anymore. He felt so tired and soo alone as he looked at his hands. He did not like the way his life was going. U see he had a girlfriend, but it did not feel just right. He did not understand this at all. He says out loud to himself Love doesnt live here, it never did or will ever. He sighed once again. He was alone in his apartment and his roommate was not home. He arose from the table and decide to turn on the tube. He felt uneasy but did not know why. He sat down and he must of dozed off, and he began a dream he will never forget that changed his perspective on life. In his dream he was walking along a strange path he did not recognize at all. But, he kept on walking. The forest was so quiet and serene and never felt such peace within him for such time. He liked this feeling and was hoping it will last for ever. As he was approaching a clearing, there he saw another man sitting by a camp fire. He was wondering to himself why this person was by himself. He looked around the clearing and saw a small cabin well hidden close to the dense forest. U would have to really look to find this cabin. As he approached this man, he noticed this fella was not smiling, but only nodded as he approached. As he stood there this fellow did not look up at all. He decided to say hello, and only got a nod. He thought to himself this is strange, I wonder if this person can speak. He then, decided to sit down at the campfire with the fella. He sat and not a word was spoken between them at all. He did not mind this at all. U see, he was use to doing this alot himself. He did not like very much of talking with others. They must of sat there for quite some time without a word spoken between them. All of a sudden the fella began to speak. He voice was so hollow and he did not lift his head as he said..... I came here along time ago, and I did not leave. I closed myself off of people who cared and loved and just upped and walked away with the clothing on my back. He paused and continued on I had people around me who loved me and wanted was best for me, but I felt I had NO love within me to give. My favorite saying was LOVE doesnt live here at all, and will never will. He can tell the man closing his eyes as he had spoken these words. He was blown away of what he just heard. This fella sitting with him was telling him exactly of what he was experiencing. The man continued on, it sure does get so lonely being here by myself without any human contact. All theses years being by myself and felt so alone and afraid to love back, and most of all, keeping my true feelings to myself. I was afraid to try love once again. He nodded in agreement with the fella, and was truly amazed of what this fella was sharing with him. This fella continued on and said Finally after all these years of keeping my true feelings to myself and I sure did not like being by myself also. It finally dawned on me. He sat there and waited because this fella did not continue on. But, this fella did not continue on, he sat there patiently awaiting for his story to continue. He got up and stirred the fire and sat down once again, but still did not continue on. He waited and waited but he did not speak once again. Finally the old man said U see, LOVE does live here, as he made a gesture to his chest over his heart. I was seeking LOVE outside of me. It has been within me all my life but I was afraid to show and love others. I understand this now and can say LOVE does live here, and once again with his hand to his chest over his heart. I just stared at him and began to cry, I cried and cried. My sobs did shake my whole body and I covered my eyes with my hands and continued to cry. To tell u the truth I did not know how long I cried, but did. I sat there and cried, and when the last sob came I looked up and he was gone. I got up with a start and looked around the clearing and went into the cabin. To my amazement it looked like nobody ever lived within these walls. I ran outside to the camp fire and he was no where to be seen. Dazed and a little confused I sat down with my thoughts to myself I said What just happened here? I decided to go sit where he sat. As I was staring down onto the ground something caught my eye. I knelt down onto the ground and there it was on a flat stone, written in words I will live by and will never ever forget LOVE does live here, and he will always remember this fella gesture of placing his hand over his heart. He arose and proceed to walk with the stone in hand and smiled as he once again read the words for him to live by... LOVE has been living Here within us all. He awoke, then smiled, he will always remember this dream, it came for a purpose, Chi Miigwetch!
