It's Difficult To Explain Love. You Want To Explain Water? You Need A Book For It. There Are Many Different Ways To Explain What Water Is. Love Is Big, It's Very Big. I Know That I Have Tons Of It.

Through That Love We Can Connect, We Can Heal Each Other, We Can Make People, All Of Us, Happy, Joyful, And Make A Better World.
