Subtle power

Magnetism.  A polar force that we cannot see, feel, hear, taste or smell.  Yet, we feel the pull as strongly as we are affected by gravity.  A base force.  Our orientation determines which way we get pulled.  It seeks equilibrium.  Balance.  You stack them and the force grows, you can attract a mob with a large enough magnet.  A magnet can be a person, place or thing.  MLK jr., Grand Canyon, Elvis, money, power.  Yes, even power is a magnet. 
So, you spin the magnet, you get inductance and electricity.  An invisible motion of current.  A driving force.  A large scale event of the same propellant that causes our bodies to move, breathe or have a heart beat.  Magnetism, electricity.  Related. 
When you get attracted to something, they say sparks fly.   No mystery in that saying.  You feel the pull.  You move nearer.  Then the pull is stronger.  The very air is charged, the lines of power are almost visible. 
Then you wonder, is the attraction from it or me?
Who attracted who?  I can only sense the pull.  The mutual attraction.  The desire to be somewhere, have something or be with someone.  It's nature.  You can't argue with nature.  It doesn't listen.  It has no ears.  It only spins the magnet and produces electricity.
