In the center of the flag, there is a pastel blue vertical box with a vertical pole of the same color through its center, and in the middle of that is the aurethesia symbol, a staff with two simple angel wings and a diamond-outline head.

to love life, to love it evenwhen you have no stomach for itand everything you've held dearcrumbles like burnt paper in your hands,your throat filled with the silt of it.When grief sits with you, its tropical heatthickening the air, heavy as watermore fit for gills than lungs;when grief weights you like your own fleshonly more of it, an obesity of grief,you think, How can a body withstand this?Then you hold life like a facebetween your palms, a plain face,no charming smile, no violet eyes,and you say, yes, I will take youI will love you, again. ― Ellen Bass
