The Great Chamberlain speaks again:
"Each of you will go around the world to inform all men, all women and all children about the existence of these new laws. Inhabitants of the Earth will recognize you through your seal bearing your initials.
For you, the Nameless Girl, behold your new seal. "
He pulls out a small box, set with precious stones.
He opens the box. On red velvet, a beautiful ring is surmounted by a strange seal, shining like a diamond.
"The initials of the seal of this ring are those of the Community of Seals and those of your name, from this day onwards.
Each child must have a name. It is a law that you have written together. Starting today, you are called Coho-So, that means: The Keeper of the Seals.
Affix the initials at the top of the page as the seal you hold is the seal of the Community of the Seals; the guarantor of understanding and application of Children's Rights for all peoples of the Earth. Adults must never forget that all children are their heirs and that their legacy is the Earth. That their children will only be able to teach their own children what they have been taught.
You can make as many seals identical to the one you are wearing. You simply close someone’s hand on your ring like this, and a new ring will appear ... if the person to whom you offer it deserves it. You will be able to offer one to every child and every adult who understands the meaning of the words "Children's Rights" and who respects these laws.
Each person who wears this seal promises to respect Children’s Rights, to teach these laws and to report any abuse of a child.
Each person who wears one of these seals becomes a member of
The Community of the Seals
The original will always remain on your finger.
Never forget that it is the guarantor of the understanding and of the application of the laws you have written.
Children who experience the Children’s Rights will one day be men and women. And they will respect "Human Rights" because "Children's Rights" are nothing other than "Human Rights" for children.
Respect of the Earth comes through the respect of its people.
A Navajo Indian, a great sage, once told me:
"We do not have to teach good manners to our children,
they are simply witnesses."
Go!
Go and meet the people of the Earth.
Teach them the laws you have written.
If you want to grow, teach what you know!
Your best teacher is your life! Listen to what it tells you! Learn from your life! And teach others what it has taught you! Not just words! By your life! By your way of life!
Go!
And choose the form of education which seems the best to you!"
