Soulmate

In the beginning there was only one soul. It was happy for it was whole. But the happiness could not last. When the Earth was born, his mother, the Sun shone brightly on all things. When her rays landed on the Soul, her son became enraged, jealous of the Soul’s happiness. And so to make her son happy once more, the Sun turned toward the Soul and split it in two. Then to be sure the Soul stayed in two halves, she created a human and placed the confused, bitter half of the Soul here; with the trusting, loyal half she formed a canine. Ensuring that the Soul could never again be complete, the Sun took the voice from the loyal half; leaving the confused side to ponder its existence in solitude. But every now and again, two halves of the same soul will meet. Without words, the loyal half will teach its bitter side how to listen, to love, and to be patient. Their time together will be short lived, but much will be learned in this time and the confused half will no longer be lost. For some, when all has been taught, and the confused side has become truly enlightened, then and only then will the Soul become complete once more.
