What's the big deal don't see any true art in that my seven year old son has better cursive on the wall than that

it inspires so much love from every single person that passes the mural. It is a big deal because it is everything most people want to feel - loved. Sometimes art is not about what it looks like to you, but what it evokes on an emotional level. What it inspires people to do, say, feel, react. When a person puts that message out in the world it impacts people - and that is only one aspect of why it is so incredible. AND it does have to do with the energy in the location, in this very special city as well.
