Our purpose is simple: to help make the world a more beautiful place for the next generation.
We are Protean. Like mist settling into the hollows of a landscape, we discern the quiet needs of our community, and take the shape required to fulfill their true necessity.
victoria veritatis est caritas. "Nothing conquers except truth;
the victory of truth is love." St. Augustine, Sermon 358 (c. 400 AD)
We are Ethereal. To love the world is to see its beauty. Animated by this spirit, we tread lightly, choosing tools that are sustainable so that we leave no heavy burden on the earth.
सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं ततो न विजुगुप्सते ॥ ६ ॥ Yastu sarvāṇi bhūtāny ātmany evānupaśyati |
Sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ tato na vijugupsate "He who sees all beings in his own Self,
and his own Self in all beings, feels no revulsion." Isha Upanishad, Verse 6 (c. 800-500 BC)
We are Transparent. Mist has no walls; it does not separate the traveler from the path. We unite in open source, that all may share in the labor of our resilience.
Our emblem is the Desert Lily blooming in the Night.
The Night is the Truth—
the deep reality that exists before the light.
The Lily is Resilience and Beauty—
the patience to wait, and the depth to bloom.
