A Promise
There is significance in being united. There is significance and vitality in solidarity. There is magnificence in caring about the collective. May created this image to honor the men and women in the service and medical field that put themselves on the line for others. May resides in California and the poppies are a symbol of her state’s due diligence to support our care providers. By remaining in isolation, and finding strength in the proverb, “this too shall pass,” we can surface swiftly as humanitarians. Poppies have been used around the world in Ancient Greece, Egypt, and Roman societies. They are linked with a period of rest and recovery. Thus, the quarantine is a time where we will remember when the world came to a pause to restore. With our promise and mindful distancing, we give the best opportunity to our heroes to get back to a safe environment with the rest of the world.
