Thank you all so much! I wanted to mention during my little speaking part, but I got all flustered: I wouldn't have been able to do this as smoothly as was done without Shoka's help! Thank you so much Shoka for coming down and sharing this day!

Many gasshos

You did great, Geika. Your intention, as well as everyone's, was powerful. I think the Iron Ox smiled upon you all. _()_ _()_ _()_

Thank you for all who attended across space and time. Thank you for your support and encouragement. It is an honor to be counted among the priests of Treeleaf.

Here is my little speech from today:

It will be interesting to see how we can explore strange new worlds.

To seek out renewed lives and new organizations.

To boldly go where no one has gone before!
