An Unspeakable Friend
The connection between the farmer and his horse had been a silent relationship. Unlike verbal relations that were always full of words and complications, their bonding depended on mutual understanding and trust. Never did the horse judge nor require anything in return, and the farmer provided the horse with care, safety, and affection. They made a team that harmonized in running the farm-the simplicity and beauty of the farm.
As a soothing element in the farmer’s life, that horse was always around. Its rhythmic hoofbeats and gentle nature had brought peace even to the hardest of days. What could be said about that level of emptiness after losing him? For that farmer, the horse was more than just the farm; it was his soul.
What once was soothing silence was now a void as there was no horse. The peace of the barn and quiet field seemed heavy, for there was no familiar neigh and view of the horse merrily feeding. One thing was reminding him how much their lives were entwined, bringing out his determination to find his companion.
