“Ether's wise Phoenix, a beautiful bird,
Sits on the blockchain; its song can be heard.
From the ashes of code the Phoenix does rise,
A symbol of hope in the programmer's eyes.

With a gaze looking back on the seasons now past,
Public goods gain retroactive value at last.
With pluralistic blooms and optimism in the air,
The phoenix sings loud for ImpactDAOs everywhere.”

— by Colton Orr, from the Infinite Garden Coloring Book
