Dear Humans,

When I pull the bag of corn tortillas out of the refrigerator, they are a sad sight. They are dry and tasteless and so brittle that if you even look at one it will break.

But then I put it on the stovetop for just a few seconds and it is magically transformed. It becomes pliable and soft and the deep taste comes out of hiding.

People are kind of the same way. We can all be magically transformed with just a little bit of care and patience. So let’s not treat each other like we just came out of the fridge; let’s give each other a little time to warm up over a low flame.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
