These bears have come into our lives
to teach us about love.
If we look at them closely, we will learn everything
we need to be happy:
See how content and peaceful the bears look?
That's because they are leaning
against one another.
Back to back they sit,
supported by each other's strength,
comforted by each other's presence,
Yet still free to look off in their own direction
dreaming their own dreams,
gazing at their own horizons,
And all the while their companion is near.
Their posture calls for complete commitment to one another,
Yet that commitment only allows each of them
to do what, alone, they could not comfortably do.
When I see the bears, I see the truth
about what love and commitment really mean.
