Want to Read $ 10.49"Love is fundamentally pivotal to the survival of all human beings."-Matthew Todd, Straight Jacket
"Your spirituality is simply the positive, loving side of yourself, the energy of joy and togetherness. It's the feeling you have when your dog bounds up wagging its tail, or the biggest laugh you have with your best friend. Or that feeling in a concert when sixty thousand people sing along in unison to a song you love, or the moment when you are looking into the eyes of someone you love, or when you feel at your most confident and happy, as if you can do anything. It is all the most positive aspects of our existence. In short, it is love."-Matthew Todd, Straight Jacket
