Concordiana

1. A state of wellbeing achieved when people of differing minds are united together in mutual trust and understanding.

2. A traditional, symbolic female figure, embodying the spirit of Concordiana, invoked to bestow harmony and prosperity to groups and gatherings, from small towns to great nations.

E PLURIBUS UNUM

Invocation for meetings and gatherings:
May all those who are present join together in the spirit of Concordiana, in a feeling of respect for one another, each person holding to their individuality while allowing space for differing opinions and preferences; no one person or single group being held above others, but with all here representing themselves with equal grace and harmony. And may this gathering be a successful and prosperous meeting of minds for the good of all here present, and the greater world we inhabit.

Lincoln-Era (c. 1858–1865)
Con·cor·di·ana (kən-kôr′dē-ä′nə)

1. That better state of feeling which comes when a people, though divided in mind, are joined in trust and mutual regard.
2. A symbolic feminine figure emblematic of Concordiana, called upon by the people to attend their gatherings, great and small, and to grant them a spirit of harmony and common purpose — from the town meeting to the halls of the Union.

Federalist Era (c. 1789–1800)
Con·cor·di·ana (kən-kôr′dē-ä′nə)

1. That felicitous condition of the public mind wherein persons of various interest and opinion are, through mutual trust and reasoned understanding, united in common purpose.
2. A feminine figure symbolic of Concordiana, invoked by a free people to preside over their councils, deliberations, and assemblies, and to confer upon them that spirit of union and concord without which no republic may long endure — from the meeting of the township to the counsels of the nation.

Revolutionary Era (c. 1774–1783)
Con·cor·di·ana (kən-kôr′dē-ä′nə)

1. That happy state, dictated by Nature and approved by Reason, wherein a people of differing conditions and opinions are united in one common cause by ties of mutual trust and affection.
2. A womanly figure symbolizing Concordiana, invoked by a people asserting their natural rights, to attend their committees, congresses, and assemblies, and to breathe into them one spirit and one resolve — from the meanest hamlet to the continental congress.

Invocation with poetic metre:
May all those who are present join together
In the spirit of Concordiana,
In a feeling of respect for one another,
Each person holding to their individuality
While allowing space for differing opinions and preferences;
No one person or single group being held above others,
But with all here
Representing themselves with equal grace and harmony.
And may this gathering 
Be a successful and prosperous meeting of minds
For the good of all 
Here present, and
The greater world 
We inhabit.

Concordiana was conceived, defined, and created by a human being in my own words. Likewise, the invocation is an original writing. However, since I am not a renaissance painter, the artworks featured on this web page were generated by ChatGPT, based on my definitions and descriptions of Concordiana, and inspired by historical paintings of Columbia, Themis, and other national symbols. Similarly, since I was not alive in the years 1774 – 1865, historical interpretations of the definitions of Concordiana were drafted in collaboration with the Claude AI assistant by Anthropic, in order to reflect the written traditions of our nation’s historical journey.

Concordiana came to be, because we need her in 2026.
