I can't describe what these videos do to me... For those of you who really know me, you know that I'm not into overly sentimental tripe, and I don't often cry, but the genuine joy in these videos... Man, it just hits my heart like a hammer! To see the initial fear on peoples' faces, and then to see them surrender, and then the joy and relief in their eyes as they hug...

This world is just soooo starved for love. I look around and see it everywhere. Ironically, especially at the holidays... Not all of us can go walking through our towns carrying a sign, but we can carry a warmth of heart, a genuine hospitality that says to our fellow human being: "It's okay. I accept you. Come home. And yeah, if you need a hug or you need a smile, I've got plenty to spare!"

It's so honest and simple, and this, I think, is what touches me more than anything else.
