"Every time I wake up, you're not there"---these eight words carry a deep, intense, and heart-stirring emotion that we cannot escape. And this kind of emotion is perhaps the essential force that makes us human. May the "Society" accompany us through those many moments of awakening, accompanying you and me in our eternal search for what has been lost.
