On Monday morning I bought a copy of the movie August Rush, because I love the idea of our souls being connected by music. And by evening I heard the news of Robin Williams' passing.
In the movie, a baby is given up for adoption. And 11 years later we see him searching for his parents, by following the music.
Robin Williams' character tells the boy: "Music is God's reminder that there is something else besides us in this universe." And then he asks the boy: "What do you want to be, in the whole world?"
And the boy answers: "Found."
I can't imagine a more perfect word to sum up the answer to the longing, the loneliness, and the empty spaces that pervade our society.
