Dear Livers,

You’re experts on living. You’ve seen thousands of days. You’ve been around language, people, and culture throughout your lives. And now you’re trying to figure out what it all means.

And doing that is all up to you. You can ask people for help. You can look to other people for examples. You can learn about how other people have done it in school. But putting your experiences together in a way that makes sense to you is the essence of living.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
