The Meaning of Love | Lionell Tholmer | TEDxDonovanCorrectional

Born into torture, blessed by tenderness, healed by hearts, saved by love. Lionell discovers this truth by standing in a storm, where a pony sheltered his heart, a jackrabbit showed him compassion, doctors used their hearts to heal him and a stranger hugged him with his heart.

"Born in Northern California, I was raised on a farm and rode in rodeos. I like motorcycles and horseback riding. I am a seeker who believes the purpose of life is to serve humanity with unconditional love. Harvesting hearts reap rewards of immeasurable value. To be allowed to be a visitor of one’s heart is the greatest blessing."
