Interesting perspective, William. I like the quote you chose, by Rumi. I have several of his books here in my home office. Aloha, Bill

Aloha, Bill of Texas. Yes, reconcilliation for the lives of the extenuators that they brought into the midst. Don't fault them for yours. Mahalo, William

Mom's Christian values, not so much morals, innates my upbringing of reconcilition for the beautiful extenuators of their lives--hoping Matt the best, Kim. Aloha, William
