Who We Are

Unlike all other species on the Earth
We do not explore and move and spread out
Based on necessity or compulsion.
No, we do so simply because it’s there.
It is our nature, given us at birth.
We are restless unless we move about.
Our wild, restless hearts fuel our propulsion,
And onward and forward do we repair.
Our unquiet hearts are surely a sign
Of our heavenly home for which we pine.
