[15:07] Dorian Trevellion: Gracious Priest Kings who rule the universe. I ask your blessings on this joyous occasion, Help them to perform this task, drawing on your energy and strength. May the time be favorable and may fortune assist them. Behold, may you protect this fair City, and Island, LANDA *and* its Administrator, and rightful Government, may you keep them prosperous and safe; for they are your servants and their love is with you forever.
All goodly and healthful things I wish you!.
All that’s good for thee and thine
And still, not only for Landa Isle,
But all we know to be divine.
In Sunshine and in shadow
Through dancing and in song
May Priest Kings bless this Splendid city
Throughout your whole life long!
[15:07] Dorian Trevellion: Ta Sardar Gor!

[15:19] Esme22 Resident: Tal Landa…smiles
[15:19] Esme22 Resident: this poem is a contribution to our Administrator inspired by another poem and poet
May you have the grace and wisdom
To act kindly, learning
To distinguish between what is
Personal and what is not.
May you be hospitable to criticism.
May you act not from arrogance but out of service.
May you work on yourself,
Building up and refining the ways of your mind.
[15:20] Esme22 Resident: May those who work for you know
You see and respect them.
May you learn to cultivate the art of presence
In order to engage with those who meet you.
When someone fails or disappoints you,
May the graciousness with which you engage
Be their stairway to renewal and refinement.
May you treasure the gifts of the mind
Through reading and creative thinking
So that you continue as a servant of the frontier
Where the new will draw its enrichment from the old,
And you never become a functionary.
May you know the wisdom of deep listening
The healing of wholesome words,
The encouragement of the appreciative gaze,
The decorum of held dignity,
The springtime edge of the bleak question.
May you have a mind that loves frontiers
So that you can evoke the bright fields
That lie beyond the view of the regular eye.
May you have good friends
To mirror your blind spots.
May leadership be for you
A true adventure of growth
[15:21] Esme22 Resident: smiles and stops then speaks gently again…
[15:21] Esme22 Resident: May you Yuroki Uriza, our beloved Landa Administrator be the righteous example that shines and guide us through our days in serving and caring for Landa.

[16:21] Yuroki Uriza starts to recite with loud melodious voice:

[16:21] Yuroki Uriza: By the Springs enlivening, lovely look;
[16:21] Yuroki Uriza: The valley’s green with joys of hopes;
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: To bring light to this our home our boats.

[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: Landa is our paradise
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: The Risen sun we celebrate,
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: For we ourselves have now arisen
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: From lowly houses’ mustiness,
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: From Brak bush doors that are our prison,
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: From the roof and gables that oppress,
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: From the bystreets’ crushing narrowness,
[16:22] Yuroki Uriza: From the temples venerable night,
[16:23] Yuroki Uriza: We are all brought out into the light
