Dear Humans,

I like to go to the grocery store early on weekend mornings. You’d think fewer shoppers would make it faster, but it’s not because the aisles are full of shelf stockers, their carts, and mountains of cardboard boxes. And though that makes it hard to maneuver, it’s interesting to catch a glimpse of  what goes into making a grocery store run.

In life we can’t see all that goes on behind the scenes. And even on those early Sunday mornings when I’m navigating around shelf stockers, I only see a small percentage of all it takes to get food on the shelves. 

So to truly understand the world, we have to use our imaginations. I think this is why Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Knowledge describes what we can see, but the most important parts are hidden and require our imagination.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
