“It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just
as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the
boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only
woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the
same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He
had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love
and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who
felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when
you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the
world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some
great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their
eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only
that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun
has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and
creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love,
one's dreams would have no meaning.”
