What is it? Is it a constant or does it change given circumstances, needs, chemistry? I ask because “it” is what I thirst for. Because I think “it” is what brings you and I together.

Help me find it. Help everyone around you find it. Seek it. Find what the world needs and give. But don’t do it alone. Bring us with you. Move. Act. Go.
