Teach the children?  Well... There is very little of substance to be gleaned from individuals. A process, a recitation, a custom is customary.  Let the young divine the marrow from the bare bones of their coloring books. We, the protectors of our future lot, laid down the workings of the cosmos in stark bitonal outlines.  The black, the white, the small details of the bigger picture. Color me a spectrum of what it means to be alive, children. Prognosticate between the lines a rhyme for the ages, transcend the myriad of gray crayons and begin to understand that each shade belongs to us all. Draw me into your pages of unity and division. Color us all, children, and learn what it is to be alive.
