One day the Moon started to love the Sun and never being able to meet with him for a long time (just in some special situations) she landed on the earth to search for someone to help her to discover what love really is.
She went first to the Knight, the bravest and biggest among them. This man was full of knowledge about war and combats, and knew all the forms to defeat an enemy.
Then the Moon asked.
"Oh Knight, from the warriosrs the wisest. Tell me what is love."
And the Knight faced her surprised by the question, because in all those year in the battlefield he was never confronted by such hard question.
"Oh Moon, the prettiest pale princess who runs through the sky, whose light the stars can not overcome, I can not help you on your quest. I lived as a man dedicated to the war and the battle, and never learned about something like love. My only relation it is with my lord and my wife would be my sword. I think that you should look with someone else." said the Knight.
The Moon, a little disapointed, left saying thank you to the Knight and walked for some kilometers until she finally found the biggest among the farmers.
"Farmer, you who take from the Earth the maintenance and feed it all, you who creates the life with hard work day after day, the one who changes the drynees into fertile, is you capable to tell me what is love?" she asked.
But the Farmer, who spent all the days of his life planting, said "no" shaking his head.
"Moon, lady of the night, whose beauty and gracefullness is bigger than anything that I have seen growing in my garden in all those long years, unfortunately is not me the one who will give to you this answer, because all my life i looked at the Earth and my plants and never saw such thing as love, although I wish you good luck on your journey." answered the Farmer.
The Moon after that was more obstindated in her goal and started to walk with firm steps trying to find someone to help her. But in every place she visited no one were capable to help her, and they always asked to her keep going on that journey. For many years she walked, and the Sky during all this time was without one of his daughers, and the Sun, the carrier of the day, was seeing from a distance his loved one in her implacable journey, but he knew that both could not visit the Earth at the same time, and because of that he only waited for her in the Sky.
One day the Moon arrived at a church and there was the greatest among the priests.
"Oh Priest, I request you to mitigate my suffering, it has been a long path and my legs are tired from all those years in the road. Around the world I have been traveling searching for the answer that will make me come back to the Sky in peace. Tell me then you, who is in contact with the divine and holy, what is love?" pleased the Moon.
But one more time she did not got the answer that she was waiting for, because the Priest only sigh and apologized.
"Oh Moon, one of the first daughters and creations of the divine, is not me who will help you, because many were the years that I spent admiring and studing the holy, but until today never came to me an orientation that could help you. A lot I know about what is intangible to the men and just a little I learned about the life."
One more time the Moon leaved without what she wanted, and with no rest or quit her goal she went in the direction of the biggest castle to talk with the biggest among the kings, whose wisdom was the biggest as his power and wealth on those times. Arriving in the royal great hall she was honored as an special guest. Then the Moon asked one more time what was tormenting her.
"Your Grace, I heard that inside your kingdom there is nothing more precious than the wisdom that you have. I request you then to answer this question that I made years ago and since that I have been trying to respond it with the help of many friends that I made, but those friends were inapts to help me. Although, being you the highest among the kings, the one who owns all, will be able - I believe - to relief me from this question: what is love? Because this feeling that I have for the Sun and the fact that I am always far from him and is impossible to go to meet him in the sky around the Earth."
The King was really wise, and heard from his messagers about the Moon's mission and her desire. So when he heard that question he smiled, because he had unless something better than a refusal for her.
"Queen of the sky who dress the whiteness of the night, even myself being a great king and by my mensagers I had heard many different storys about what happens in my kingdom, isn't me who will answer your question. Whereas my wisdom is big, that doesn't means that is infinite, but I can denote you a man - the true wise man, first among them, that i believe being able to answer you at the end. By what I remember from my golden ages of youth he lives under the Lonely Tree in the hill of Twilight. I wish you good luck on your goal, because the faster you have your problem solved the faster you come back to your loved one and to the sky, serving as a light for lovers who are under your protection in the night.
Saind good-bye to the King and expressing gratitude for the advice, the Moon walked through the Earth for days looking for the Lonely Tree until she found her when the Sun from far away said good-bye to her as he always had done since many years ago.
She found the Wise lying down under the shadow of the tree, with a long beard covering his face.
"Wise, I come to you humbling begging for an answer."
"Well, isn't that the reason for all men and women, Suns and Moons, beings and non-beings, to come after me? To ask for answers? Therefore I need to warn you, girl, and I call you girl because the Wisdom itself is my mother and she exists since a long time before your birth, that here, often, is easier to get more questions than answers. Are you prepared to that?"
"There is no other place to go after this one, because I walked through all the Earth, looked in all the places and asked everyone what is love. Yes, I will take the risk." answered the Moon really determinated.
"Well, lets start then by your affirmation that you had look at every place and asked every person who lives in this world. If is love what you look for, his meaning, what are you doing looking for it in a place which isn't yourself? What are you doing asking people how is to live the love you have? What is love if not something we have inside ourselves and we never share? Those are questions, I know, but if I keep speaking you may be able to understand at the end."
"Love is not on the questions you made to the men and women on Earth, he is not on the tireless search you went into it until today. They were all futile and work as a lesson to you. Love belongs to the Nature, to the River cuting the Earth slow, cuting his base and changing the world; the love is the Wind who cuts the rock and give to her a new shape; love is the Fire who consumes what he burns and release in the air his smoke, witness and victim of his acts; love is the Iron who comes out of the Earth's womb to be molded on wonderful thing that mankind can produce; is love the leaves in a tree and how they shake with the wind or the rain, how the roots embrace the Earth and sustain her while they are sustained; love is the golden brightness of the Sun above our heads; is love your silver brightness when you are in the sky. All this is love my child, but is not love what you have being trying to find until now."
"What you have being trying to find was an answer for your afflictions and love is necessariely be free from afflictions, have in your path your natural destination. Is not the words of those you questonated that will tell you what is love, but I congratulate them for getting close with their actions. Is love the devotion of the Knight for his sword and kingdom, it is love the swet and dedication of the Farmer for what he plant and what he harvest, it is love the unstopable studies of the Priest about the divine feature and function, it is also love the years spent by the King in the name of his people and kingdom. All that is love, although they could not knew it, because while they were seeking for an answer for you they were blind by the search."
"But even having partial success in your journey I need to say that you made a mistake by looking for love between the mankind, because as I already said: is in Nature that love exists pure. All wisdom in their words weren't enough to explain you what Is love in fact, and not even my wisdom will be enough to put in words this feeling. Everything you live with your spirit and not with your mind go beyond the human comprehension to put in words. It is something either you live either you deny it - and both are true because if you do not live the love he do not exist, thus."
"A bigger and longer speach would be necessary to bigger explanations, my lady, but I believe that is already time for you to come back to the sky where you belong, being your absence really long and your empty space really harmful. As a master I will not give you the answer, but the instruments, the tools, to discover it yourself. Remember where love exist, remember that you can not answer it in a simple way, but specially that love is pure and true while seeing in nature. It is my time to ask then, and here our roles change, what is love then?"
And the Moon understood what he was saying, and started to walk back to the sky, but she did not leaved before turn back to him and answer the Wise.
"Is something that you live without know it"
