for whom the pale moon gleams

Warm Aloha Welcome to


Y O U




"Ask not what tomorrow may bring,
 but count as blessing
 every day that fate allows you."
~Horace 64 B.C.








"We can't stop all the evil in the world,
but we have total control
over how we treat each other."

President Obama






“We are the music makers,
 and we are the dreamers of the dream.
 Wandering by lone sea breakers,
 and sitting by desolate streams.
 World losers and world forsakers,
 for whom the pale moon gleams.
 Yet we are movers and the shakers
 of the world forever it seems.”

 Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy

Your photos are making me just a bit nostalgic for Hawaii -- then I remember how my co-workers treated me and am happy to be here. Still, the landscape truly is beautiful there.

President Obama

I really like the photo above that statement.

As a theologian and philosopher, I do admit moral responsibility for significantly free (voluntary) actions.
