"My idea is that we all need to try to arise in the current state of the world and show our light. This poppy seems to show that although we live in this seemingly spiritually uninhabitable world, we can still arise and shine forth. The plants growing around it seem to have seen the poppy’s example and are also trying to arise. While in the background there are other flowers, but they are not trying to stand out and show their abilities. They are uniform and basic. No single one is being noticed more than any other. For me that shows that if we don't try to show our light, we won't be seen. Seeing the poppy from above gives us a glimpse of God’s perspective on our lives."
