Dear Humans,

Ken Kesey has my favorite quote: “We can count how many seeds are in the apple, but not how many apples are in the seed.”

You have to believe that you’ll be more than your inputs: more than the houses you were raised in, the schools you were educated in, the cultures that surrounded you. Those things are important and instrumental, but they are not destiny.

Because there’s something special in each person. Some people call it a spark or a personality or some people even call it a soul. I call it an apple seed. But it doesn’t really matter what you call it. It’s something inside of you that can grow beyond the limits that exist outside of you.

If you let it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
