Video Transcription:

If you’ve taught us anything, it’s how we can all get along.

How we can take charge of a situation with a whisper.

Like the sounds of sunlight, falling across grass, drying in a field.

Natural linen flapping on the line.

Or porcelain in the moment it cools beside the kiln.

Wheat, Pear, Khaki, Cream.

When we say neutral, we mean trust.

The shades of truth that protect us from extremes.

The tranquil ground where we all aspire to stand.

You’re self-sufficient.

You’re your own complement.

As confident as a steel gray ship sliding out of the harbor to gently disappear against the sky.
