With the love you give me? I would do it again and again and again and one more time. I want you to listen intentionally, absorb and create your own stories from it. It is yours and not for anyone to interpret. Not even me. .
I also want you to know that without your ears and your heart, my voice is on mute. I love you all and I am eternally grateful for you sharing it too”.
