William, congratulations on your top win with this amazing write that overflows with the metaphoric meaning of life - "daring do," "ancestral parlance," "charming lust of will justifies presence." These are just a few of the many memorable poetic phrases that transcend the ordinary. Nui na pomaikai e ka makamaka! Aloha. In my prayers.
