• 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. But maybe we don't want to open up so much, and we think, maybe we don't have so much, but yes, you know that you have tons of love. We all do. 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.

• Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments - often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we're too busy chasing down the extraordinary moments. Other times we're so afraid of the dark we don't dare let ourselves enjoy the light. A joyful life is not a floodlight of joy. That would eventually become unbearable. I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude and inspiration

  Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.

  Let Washington's great name
  Ring through the world with loud applause;
  Let every clime to Freedom dear
  Listen with a joyful ear.
  With equal skill, with god-like power,
  He governs in the fearful hour
  Of horrid war, or guides with ease,
  The happier times of honest peace.
