Elliot, our virtuoso of animus and essence brings us the symphony of existence…

“Children of the Earth, a diverse tapestry,

In your differences, a rich and vibrant sea.

From every corner, culture, and creed,

You bloom like flowers from a common seed.

With eyes that hold both wonder and pain,

You navigate a world complex and arcane.

Learning, growing, seeking your own truth,

In your innocence, lies the fountain of youth.

As you inherit this Earth, our shared space,

May you embrace compassion, love, and grace.

For you are the future, a promise untold,

In your hands, the world's stories unfold.

In unity and understanding, let your hearts connect,

Children of the Earth, may your spirits reflect,

The beauty of diversity, the strength in your birth,

In your hands lies the potential to heal the Earth.”
