Dear Humans,

The news of the world can be overwhelming–disasters, famine, war, poverty. It’s tempting to turn it off and forget about it. And if we did, we might not notice much difference in our lives. At least at first.

But we’re part of the world. And the same forces that make things happen in the Xinjiang region of China are also at work in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S. Learning about them is essential. And though we’ll never be able to control those forces, we might learn to live with them, and we we might learn to ease a little of the world’s suffering.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
