It's all one thing

it
shuttles these squalls across the sky above the high desert.
it
sucks the water down this irrigation canal
it
oozes into the dormant seedling and propels it out of the soil and into the light.
it
seeps through my skin and pumps the fluid through my veins to my muscles.
i know because i  feel the electricity as my legs turn the pedals over.
it
flushes out through my eyes and runs down my face.
i don't know what it is, but i know it's primitive, and i know it's in all of us.
and i know it's all one thing.
