Courage does not always roar despite it often being depicted as a ferocious Lion. These days, the face of courage is demonstrated more readily as a healthcare worker reporting for yet another exhausting day on the front lines of fighting this virus.
Our part in this fight was simple just follow the orders to ‘Stay at Home’. But to the first responders their part was in showing up – that’s courage. Much like a soldier’s sacrifice to the world, this fight has world involvement. President Trump has been very vocal in calling the pandemic “our war with the Silent Enemy”. To prevent horrifying occurrences across the globe, all the workers called to provide critical intervention (even in the face of their own peril) showed immense bravery in facing something that probably frightened the hell out of them. I think I speak for many humans worldwide – I stand in awe of their contribution. I can’t thank them enough for doing the dirty work for all of us.
This wonderful fence painting in San Jose, California was created by a patriot and fellow human being. I think its sentiment says it all. From the illustrious quote from Winston Churchill to the precious image of Dr. Fauci, the message is delivered with a clear voice. I hope all the hospital workers of the nearby Bay Area Regional Medical Center embrace this message of gratitude. And, I hope by my posting it today, healthcare workers from other states, counties and communities in the United States and across the world know they ARE making a world of difference.
