"When I saw how at peace and in the moment the were as they whirled it literally brought tears to my eyes to know someone could find such a level of happiness."

 "The one in the pure white and the one in red I find particularly hypnotic."
Youtube member Existantia

"I don't know why but I'm completely drawn to this - it's so simple yet so elegant. It's so cool."
