"After a missile strike, everyone searches in the debris to put their loved ones back together. Mothers search for their children's heads to match with their bodies.
To be a good mother in the rest of the world is to feed your children good food and keep them warm, but to be a good mother in Gaza is to bury your children whole."
~ Mariam Mohammed Al Khateeb

the poppies ask us
to pay a good P.R.I.C.E.
Presence: by staying present and mindful with the poppies, we resist the trance of efficiency and war.
Reverence: by opening our hearts to great beauty and pain, we honor each life as a whole universe.
Integrity: by doing our best to keep the poppies safe, we aim to express deep love and care.
Courage: by vulnerably touching our grief, we seek the courage to act, even when it seems impossible.
Empathy: by asking the poppies to help us feel, we refuse to numb or normalize the pain of genocide.
