Without love?

I saw this in a newsletter for Pangea Organics, a company run by a guy named Joshua Scott Onysko, I like it a lot:

A while back, I heard a story about an anthropologist who was living with the Hopi tribe down in the Four Corners. He spent months studying their traditions, rituals and their basic way of living. When he was getting ready to leave he said to the chief, "Your way of life is fascinating, but I find it odd that most of your songs are about rain and water." The chief thought for a moment then said, "Water is what we need to survive, without it we would perish. I find it more odd that all of your people's songs are about love. Are you without it?"
