There's a nagging sense that this life isn't all that it could be. It's a feeling that there's something more, that despite everything we've done and everything we've obtained, something somewhere is still missing. Maybe it's around the next corner or could be found in the next thing, relationship or experience... Somewhere deep down in the heart of every person who hasn't yet found the answer and the truly satisfying, permanent resolution, there's a hole. There's still something missing and despite everything we've tried to fill it with, something's still not right. Like an itch begging to be scratched it motivates a reaction, but what reaction will satisfy - what resolution? What is it? The volume of that sense varies from person to person and for some it ebbs and flows as life goes on. For some it's quiet, like a continual, still small voice and for others it may rise to a level that brings them to crisis or just to do thing...
