Delia Gerardi from Glenorie posted on 16 Aug 2014 5:34:52 PM Marcus Is A Very Special Person In Tune With His Surrounding And Very Aware. We Need To Learn From Him And Realise We Might Look All The Same But Inside We Are Different Stages Of Learning. Humans Are Scared Of Something Different As They Don't Understand We Are All Here To Learn And Grow. Live N Light To Marcus God Bless
