Romance under the nite sky

There are a few songs that define me...this one, the savage garden song of traveling the world with the one I love, and if you move real slow, I will let it go...

Can't Fight The Moonlight
LeAnn Rimes

Under a lovers' sky
Gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
Til the sun goes down

Underneath the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It'll steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight

Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

There's no escape from love
It's a gentle breeze
Weaves it's spell upon your heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
Til your in my arms
Underneath the starlight - starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm - so right
Feel it steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark

You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No you can't fight it
No matter what you do
The night is gonna get to you

Don't try then
You're never gonna win

Be a Part of me, the starlight - starlight
There's a magical feeling - so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know
Don't you know that you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know
But you know that you can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart

dthe Pope dies...

When Pope John Paul II died this Easter weekend, April 02, 2005, he reminds us of the legacy that he left behind, with his struggles with Nazi occupation of Poland, his homeland; his entrance into priesthood to serve the greater good; his fight with communism in Poland and then around the world; his unification of all faith, bringing justice and peace to this world.

I remember my own meager start from a war torn country, coming to a land with nothing, understanding the sacrifices my parents made so we could all go to private schools and receive the best education. Growing up in a Catholic Asian community, most of my teen life was spent going on spiritual retreats, looking within for answers, listening for the holy spirit to guide me, choosing the paths less taken.

I realize I will have far less of an impact on the world. It is the people that I only come into contact with that I can make a difference. From my immediate family, to my darling cousins whom I adore, to my closest friends, and relatives. From past lovers and boyfriends, to total strangers. For every act of love there is a reaction.
