You have found a fountain. It is flowing, and glowing, with life. You can stretch your arms towards it, and gather it in with your hands, splash around, wet your face, and have fun in its spray. You can get wet, or submerge yourself, and then emerge. But you know you cannot stay. You must at some point go away. You can go away wet, or go away dry -- or, if you have enough love for someone who is not there, then you can try to build a vessel with walls strong enough to hold this stuff, and a top so it doesn't spill, and you might become one of the happy few that brings not only news of the fountain but its actual stuff: perhaps not enough to splash in, or submerge, but enough to send flowing towards parched throats, chapped lips, rough hands, calloused feet, and scarred hearts.
