Dear Humans,

I was in a corn maze on Saturday and I decided it’s just like life. 

People give you unsolicited advice. But they’re stuck in the corn maze too, so what good is it? Places start to look familiar and you’re convinced you’ve been here before. But you can’t be sure. If you had a bird’s eye view, it would all make sense. But we’re stuck here on the ground level. We can only see as far as the dead end ahead of us. 

So you concoct a strategy. Maybe you always take a left, or you try to make sense of the direction of the footprints on the dirt path. Or maybe you just decide to follow the group ahead of you.

And, finally, you end up right back where you started, though you’re not sure how you did it. But you learn to be grateful for the time spent walking around in the warm autumn sun.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
